We've been pushing really hard over the last 6mo to develop this release. I'd love to hear feedback from people who've worked on big plugin systems in the past, or anyone who's tried our betas!

I've been using an instance of https://readeck.org/ for personal archives of web pages and I really like it, but I might try out ArchiveBox at some point too.

I also run an instance of ArchiveTeam Warrior which is constantly uploading things to archive.org, and I like the direction ArchiveBox is heading with the distributed/federated archiving on the roadmap, so I may end up setting up an instance like that even if I don't use it for personal content.

I've just tried Readeck and it doesn't save a good quality copy of the pages using the Firefox extension. SingleFile and WebScrapBook do a much better job.

I prefer WebScrapBook because it saves all the assets as files under the original names in a directory rather than a zip file. This means that I can use other tools such as find, grep, and file managers like Nemo to search the archive without needing to rely on the application that saved the page.
