by t_wheeler, 4 years agoMight be one of the best extensions I've ever installed. Works great.
I'm using this to solve two problems:
1. "I looked this up once, where was that? What did I search for? Can I find it in my history?"
2. "I should re-read this for the next few weeks/months to reinforce what I learned."
3. "It would be great to capture the Reddit/HackerNews discussion thread along with this article."
Oh that's three. I lied. Oops. :)
My filename template is {visit-year-utc}/{visit-month-utc}/{datetime-iso}-{page-title}.html. This lets me easily identify pages from the previous month, which I then can review and update as needed. Generally I find things through Reddit or HackerNews, so I annotate the page with the post URL. That context comes in handy.
Would be nice to be able to save pages to a custom path in the filesystem. Tags would be a useful addition as well, though it's pretty easy to just do a search in the filesystem for relevant content.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19251219, a month agoI was looking for a feature similar to Scrapbook, which was available in an earlier version of Firefox Add-on, and I am generally satisfied with SingleFile.
However, there are some areas where it falls short on pages with images.
Many pages display images in a reduced size, and when you click on them, they enlarge, but it is a bit disappointing that you cannot capture the enlarged image.
In many cases, the enlarged images are displayed in a reduced size even if they are stored in a different directory within the same domain.
If this issue were addressed, I would be very satisfied. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19242736, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13944616, a month agoThis thing does what it says it does, and super well. I'm really, really happy with how well the extension manages to capture *exactly* what is on the page. It's pretty much perfect.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Roman Berezkin, a month agoI literally use it almost everyday. The most convenient tool in my life. Especially the "Save selection" one, which helps me to save insights from chatgpt and such stuff, which I can't "just screenshot". Love you and your work very much. Thank you!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Gabriel, 3 months agoEsta extensão é fundamental para meu trabalho. Utilizo muito a ferramenta de anotar e salvar página para rascunhar em cima. Grifar os trechos que acho importante e também excluir os elementos que não me servem.
