Hey guys, so it seems that Linkwarden isn't as good as I was hoping, since some websites will throw up a cookie popup or some other screen that basically prevents the capture.

Firefox Screenshot seems to work well, but it saves a PNG, which isn't really text searchable.

FF's "save page as..." feature seems to break things when viewing them back.

Save to PDF is another option, and that seems to be decent.

I'm not looking to copy entire websites, but I like to save web pages for later reference (i.e. instructions/specs).

I use Synology Note Station, but they don't have a web clipper for Firefox...

I'm fine with using a folder structure to store files, despite not being totally ideal when compared to Linkwarden.

Does anyone have any other suggestions that perhaps I've missed? Nothing too complicated... ideally, as simple as a button click would be great.

Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.
