There is even Promise.race provided for that purpose in JavaScript. You can typically use it to implement a watchdog.

Even though it's not a compiler, SingleFile [1](and SingleFileZ [2]) can do that. It will compute the cascade, remove almost all the unnecessary rules, and minify the CSS. [1] https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/Sing

I disagree, I develop SingleFile for 10 years. That's the first time I need to include a script in the saved page in order to display it properly. Until the existence of Web Components, JavaScript was not needed to display a saved page

Yes I'm sure. It was a bug in SingleFile [1] and to fix it (I'm the author), I must add a JavaScript script in the saved page to deserialize the shadow root contents that are missing. It means that JS is required to view this save

Is it okay for you if you save a webpage but no contents are saved in fact? Do the test and save in HTML (with the native "Save as" feature) this page [1]. The saved page will be almost empty because it's made of web componen

To play devil's advocate, note that Google is trying to propose something to make the shadow root contents deserializable without relying on JavaScript [1][2]. [1] https://github.com/mfreed7/declarative-shadow-dom&

SingleFile [1] can do that, i.e. automatically save viewed pages and/or bookmarks, but it will save pages in HTML. Alternatively, SingleFileZ [2] can do the same but will produce zip files (disguised as HTML files). Disclosure: I'

If the PDF format is not mandatory for you, you might be interested in SingleFile [1] (I'm the author) which you can run from the command line. It will interpret scripts and faithfully save a snapshot of a page in a single HTML file. [

I can understand you prefer the PDF format for saving HTML webpages even though the PDF format is not adapted for this use-case. But do all the pages on the Internet saved with SingleFile weight 250KB and all the pages saved in PDF weight 2

Basically, you're right. I found the idea interesting despite the fact that the solution isn't "perfect". For your information, the code used to upload the proof is here [1]. A SHA256 of the content of the saved page is

Sorry, I didn't see your question. I check the posts on HN very regularly. The title of the post made me think that people might have been talking about SingleFile. Sometimes, friends of mine tell me someone on the Internets is talkin

Hi! I think it confirms that there's a real interest in this feature.

I'll implement the "save bookmark page" feature in both extensions :)

Or SingleFileZ files which can be viewed without installing any extension https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ . Edit: it can also auto-save pages, like SingleFile.

I think you could add the browser add-on SingleFile [1] to the list which allows you to annotate archive of webpages saved in HTML and is 100% free. [1] https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile

SingleFileZ creates its own paths to reference all the resources of the page in the zip. This prevents any invalid path issues. The URL of the resource is stored as a comment for each entry in the zip though (I'm unsure I'm really

by gildas 7y ago
Actually, what is supposed to be interesting and innovative in SingleFileZ is the fact that it produces self-extracting valid zip files in the form of HTML files. Thus, they can be read natively by any modern browser that supports JavaScr

Thank you for your feedback. The additional 40KB corresponds to the part which self-extracts the zip file (in order to view the page without installing any extension). Note that the original URLs can be found in the comments of each entry i

Yes you can. See this page for example: https://gildas-lormeau.github.io/ (check the source code of the page if you're curious). It was saved with SingleFileZ and is served via a HTTP server. Note that you don't n

The main benefit is the size of the saved page. The file will be smaller because binary resources (e.g. images) are not encoded in base 64 [1]. Moreover, the page and these resources are also compressed. The other benefit is that you can un

I included in the table only formats that are at least supported natively in one modern browser. That's why the WARC format is missing. I'm not against adding it in the table though.

Thank you. I could not reproduce your issue on the latest versions of Chrome and Firefox. I'll try to do more tests to see what went wrong on your end.

It is not supported by Safari neither. Today, the only modern browsers supporting MHTML are Chromium-based browsers.

I'm the author of the extension. Browsers don't offer a way to register a (browser) extension with a given mime-type or filename extension. That's why SingleFileZ uses the HTML format to wrap the zip content.
