That exists! Check out Hoardy Web. https://oxij.org/software/hoardy-web/

Its whole point is undetectable archiving because it just saves what your browser already sees.

Nice, I understand it is similar to ArchiveBox + its web extension.

Now to be honest, while it's optimal to archive pages from you browser view I am not sure I want a random web extension to be in everything I see from a security point of view.

I would rather have a local proxy doing it. Maybe something like the InternetArchive warcproc [0]. Haven't tried yet.

  • for a short time i had warcprox sitting behind my firefox and auto feeding its output to pywb, it seemed to work but i had connections failing randomly after having warcprox running for more than a few hours~days. not sure if it's an issue with pywb or warcprox but there were some urls missing that i did browse on firefox, and many dynamic pages couldn't be replayed at all.
