- Alifatisk 3y agoI think they do? Have you tried hitting cmd+s or ctrl+s? You can save webpages like that. But I don’t know if they can compress everything into a single html file though.
- max_ 3y agoAlot of the CSS & JavaScript is usually broken with ctrl+s. A great option used to be the mhtml format chrome. (It had to be enabled in chrome flags) But mhtml seemed to be removed from chrome since recently.
- vanderZwan 3y agoLast time I tried that it saved a static version of the current DOM, instead of the page source. I'm assuming that the reasoning behind that is that most people want to save a snapshot of what they are currently seeing, and that this is the easiest way to have somewhat reliable results for that.
- snshn 3y agoSo true. Monolith is using libraries made by Mozilla for their Rust-driven browser engine (which I believe, never happened to be). I really would love for it to be a part of some browser one day, the demand is clearly there. Nobody likes to have a file+folder abomination on their drive, or some shady formats like .webarchive
- Gormo 3y agoThe MHTML format [1] has been around for 25 years and was natively supported by multiple browsers for decades. Modern browsers have regressed in functionality. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHTML
