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?
Thank you also for the kind words! Regardoing support, you can choose whichever method you prefer; it makes no difference to me actually.
I have SingleFile configured to post full archives to Karakeep with an HTTP POST; this enables archiving pages from my browser that Karakeep cannot scrape and bookmark due to paywalls or bot protection.

Thanks for mentioning it was about to hack something together myself.
Also works with Linkding
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.
