    Roughly in the same space is Zotero &lt;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.zotero.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.zotero.org&#x2F;&gt; which is intended as a way of organizing research materials but is also a great way of quickly archiving web pages you&#x27;ve visited, including quick tagging and full text search.

      Another very useful project is SingleFile. I was ecstatic when I found out about its existence.

      <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;gildas-lormeau&#x2F;SingleFile" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;gildas-lormeau&#x2F;SingleFile

      &quot;SingleFile helps you to save a complete web page into a single HTML file. SingleFile is a Web Extension (and a CLI tool) compatible with Chrome, Firefox (Desktop and Mobile), Microsoft Edge, Safari, Vivaldi, Brave, Waterfox, Yandex browser, and Opera.&quot;

        Don&#x27;t most browsers do this natively? Firefox saves single pages as html. Chrome saves pages as mhtml which isn&#x27;t supported in firefox but can be easily converted if there&#x27;s ever a need.

          It doesn&#x27;t work well with assets served via CDN, for example.
