It also works with JavaScript-heavy websites like Mastodon and Youtube, which the standard “Save Page” feature implemented in all browsers usually fails to save, though some features like collapsibles are missing.
Also recommending ArchiveBox – it takes the shotgun approach to archiving websites, making snapshots with a bunch of different tools, singlefile being among them. You can use it as a one-shot command, or run it as a web server which provides a UI for archiving web pages. Linkwarden is similar.
I use this to save the job listing of every job I apply to, for reference when I get a call back and the listing has been taken down. You can highlight a section of the page and it smartly saves just the page content needed to contain the highlighted portion. Really keeps the size down.
you know, browsers used to do this natively…
that’s cool. also you can use stuff like htrack to backup web pages and make them into zim files for software like kiwix
I use httrack for this type of thing.

Tested SingleFile today. Very cool. Thanks for sharing!
Try to avoid installing extensions, they have too much privilege in the browser.
Check your privilege, SingleFile!
