About this extension
This extension takes a step towards turning the browser into an offline-first knowledge management tool. It can store snapshots of web pages you visit on your computer by 'freeze-drying' them: removing scripts and thus most interactive behaviour, but inlining all images and stylesheets to let you save the page exactly the way you saw it.
Usage
To store a page, press the extension's button (usually found next to the address bar). To view all pages you stored and search through them, open the overview; either from the button's popup, or by pressing Ctrl+Y (if it works on your system, shortcuts seem to be a bit flaky).
Privacy perfect
This extension is completely local, it never sends or contacts anything. Snapshotted pages are stored inside the extension (you can also save them as html files). When viewed, such a stored page does not make any connections or execute any scripts.

Release notes for 0.3.3
This update adds the possibility to programmatically visit and snapshot multiple pages; e.g. all pages that are listed in a table of contents (select the links, right-click and choose "snapshot linked pages").
Also, it updates the 'freeze-dry' module it uses internally to make snapshots, which fixes some errors.
