   Sorry, I was wrong, you have to select "format the page" instead of "edit the page" (first item).

   I will do it, but it will take me some time to explain it and rather than answering on HN I will integrate it in the FAQ. I created an issue for this here: https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile/issues/8

   It is in fact more or less self-financed by... hmmm... a SaaS that I market but it's in B2B.

   For technical reasons beyond my control, SingleFile injects a (very small) script when the page loads even if you don't click on the button. It could also send any data to a third party server. Unfortunately, it is therefore impossible

   It saves what you see (and remove JS by default). There is an option to embed the JS and another one to save the "raw" page but I would not say it is reliable. The cleverness lies more in the ability to produce light pages.

   I think this issue could be circumvented by manipulating the page (replacing images, frames, css etc.) in the tab itself (SingleFile does it in background with a DOMParser instance). The trick is to avoid HTML parsing.

   The difference is the output format. I created SingleFile before Chrome supported MHTML files. At that time, to save web pages in a single file, the only technical solution in Chrome was to implement something like SingleFile. The advantage

   You should be able to use it on Firefox for Android Nightly (which is very stable) by following this procedure: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/09/29/expanded-extensio... > approx

   The demo is approximately 2 years old. Things probably changed meanwhile.

    You can enable these options for this: - Annotation editor > default mode > edit the page - Annotation editor > annotate the page before saving

    I guess you're referring to SingleFileZ. This option is not needed because zip files (i.e. what SingleFileZ produces) already provide this feature.

    It's possible but it's a bit limited. It won't be able for example to save images coming from a different origin.

    I cannot reproduce your issue, I just did a test on this page and I see the expected `<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,...` in the saved page.

    I try to use optional permissions as much as I can. The first permission is required because of assets and frames stored on third-party servers. The second permission should be optional, I don't remember why it's not. I'll tr

    I confirm that you could use a headless browser for this. This is actually what SingleFile CLI does [1]. Here is an example of JS code showing how to configure and inject SingleFile with puppeteer [2]. [1] https://github.com&#x2F

    Thank you Paul! I had read this document some time ago, especially to see how the shadow DOM was serialized.

    It's interesting! I had started something similar as part of testing but hadn't really finished my work. I will have a look at your project.

    AFAIK, for the moment Mozilla is aware of the regressions that Manifest V3 causes and shows a good will to try to reduce them as much as possible. You can find some information about this here https://github.com/w3c/web

    The problem is that it is a proprietary format. The advantage of the format produced by SingleFile (HTML) is that as long as your browser is capable of interpreting HTML, you will be able to read your archives without worries.

    In fact, you simply do not need an extension to open pages saved with SingleFile (or SingleFile Lite) because they are standard HTML pages. So you don't have to worry about that.

    Zotero is actually using SingleFile under the hood to save web pages ;)

    Author here, it makes me really happy to see SIngleFile on the front page of HN. Thank you! I take the opportunity to make you aware of the upcoming impacts of the Manifest V3 [1], and for those who prefer zip files, I recommend you to have

    Author here, sorry for the GIF file. I created it because people were not happy with the video hosted on Youtube. AFAIK, video files did not work when I did this demo. I'll try to improve this in the future.

    Images are stored as data URIs [1]. Note that they could also be stored as entries in a zip file too! [2]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_URI_scheme [2] https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/S

    Thank you! Actually I did some tests recently with SingleFile Lite and was able to save a page weighting 120MB+ so the 43MB limit seems obsolete. There are still some annoying issues though.

    Thanks for the feedback! It's very timely, I just have an issue that discusses the problem of sideloaded extensions (and profile data).
