### 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.
