It doesn't matter. Store and index what I read. Content could be destroyed and altered in the server.
- organsnyder 7y agoThat only works if the page is relatively static. Add in any functionality that requires a round-trip to a server, and things get immensely more complex.

The utility is in having a snapshot of the site looking exactly as when you left it, with all the benefits of it not being rendered to a image, and with a high probability that at least some interactions still work.
