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.
Am I missing something? How is this different from CTRL+S
Edit: clicked on link and saw demo video. Pretty cool, saves all images and assets without having that big folder of stuff
I use httrack for this type of thing.
HTTrack Website Copier - Offline Browser https://www.httrack.com/html/fcguide.html
This takes a snapshot of the HTML elements from when they were loaded in your browser. If the page loads content dynamically, HTTrack won’t save it but this can. (i.e. this works better on crappy modern sites that need JS to even just load the article text…)
Tested SingleFile today. Very cool. Thanks for sharing!
Cool. But also, https://offpunk.net/
This is not really for your average super-busy html page, but I love it for checking blogs.
Don’t most browers offer this as a default option?
A property secured site won’t serve its css and js when requested from a non configured domain (such as localhost), so the html is the only part that will work when you save the page as.
Selecting “Save as” is not the same as “view while offline”.
“Save as” is just a legacy function that has been passed down to Save the HTML into a file. It’s not used to “save” pages or sites to view offline.
The ability to properly Save a page to view offline is already included in most browsers. Even Edge has that functionality built into it.

Go ahead and show the classroom what you’re talking about…
Really useful extension.
It’s a wonderful extension. Wish it played nice with the Just Read extension, but that’s my only complaint.
