I used SingleFile for a while but now I've switched to WebScrapBook because a lot of the pages that I save have the same images. Then I run rdfind to hard link all the identical files and save space.

Thanks. I've tried SingleFile. I made some backups using the Chrome Extension. I was unable to open them a couple of years later. So I abandoned it.

Will try karakeep.

  • Author of SingleFile here. Sorry, this is obviously not normal. Please feel free to report any bugs here https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile/issues.

    • Anecdotally (not to diminish any bug the parent had), SingleFile is one of my favorite extensions. Been using it for years and it's saved my ass multiple times. Thank you!

      Edit: What's the best way to support the project? I'm seeing there's an option through the Mozilla store and through GitHub. Is there's a preference?

  • I've been using single file for five years and I've never had this issue for what it's worth. I keep a directory called Archives on my Synology that I expose with Copy Party, and I routinely back up web pages and then drop the result into my Copy Party instance for safekeeping.

    I would look into what happened with the single file copies you made that didn't work because that is highly unusual.
