My goal here is mostly to read articles, but sometimes I save the website for archive purposes. Which one do you think I should choose?(Sorry for my bad English I am not a native speaker)

Saving the website will be smaller so if you're doing a lot of archiving that'll save space. Also probably easier to find HTML renderers on weird platforms than PDF. Full disclosure I hate Adobe so I'm not unbiased, but HTML still has advantages.

Well thank you for answering my question but I think there is a thing called odt if Adobe is problem for you I think you can convert your pdf's into odt but overall thank you

Firefox opens PDFs now

Yeah I have lots of options for my own use, but I hate adobe because they've infected every workforce I've been anywhere near with the idea that PDFs are gods will. And I'm commonly the one that has to interpret gods will for the congregation.
