Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Save web pages to a single HTML file with all assets embedded - means you can load sites offline (or share them). Options to exclude specific assets e.g. videos or audio. Chrome extension is also available. Written in Rust, so is available as a static binary with packages for all major OSs. Open source.

Tradeoffs

Has no JS engine, so some sites may be broken or not work at all. You can pipe it through a headless Chromium to act as a pre-processor though.
