And here I'm still looking for a way, with one click, to create an offline backup of the webpages each of my bookmarks points to. Such that the offline version looks and works exactly like the online version in (say) Google Chrome (e.g. the CTRL+F feature works fine). And such that I can use some key-combo and click a bookmark in my bookmarks manager (in Chrome) to open a webpage from the backup (or the backup can have its own copy of the bookmarks manager... it needs a catalog of some sort or it won't be useful).

Thanks. I've tried SingleFile. I made some backups using the Chrome Extension. I was unable to open them a couple of years later. So I abandoned it.

Will try karakeep.

I have SingleFile configured to post full archives to Karakeep with an HTTP POST; this enables archiving pages from my browser that Karakeep cannot scrape and bookmark due to paywalls or bot protection.

Thanks for mentioning it was about to hack something together myself.

Author of SingleFile here. Sorry, this is obviously not normal. Please feel free to report any bugs here https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile/issues.

I've been using single file for five years and I've never had this issue for what it's worth. I keep a directory called Archives on my Synology that I expose with Copy Party, and I routinely back up web pages and then drop the result into my Copy Party instance for safekeeping.

I would look into what happened with the single file copies you made that didn't work because that is highly unusual.

Anecdotally (not to diminish any bug the parent had), SingleFile is one of my favorite extensions. Been using it for years and it's saved my ass multiple times. Thank you!

Edit: What's the best way to support the project? I'm seeing there's an option through the Mozilla store and through GitHub. Is there's a preference?

I used SingleFile for a while but now I've switched to WebScrapBook because a lot of the pages that I save have the same images. Then I run rdfind to hard link all the identical files and save space.
