I do, but I've also come to rely on a plug-in called 'scrapbook'. It allows you to cut a snippet from a webpage and save it along with the url of the original.

Very handy, and it also protects somewhat against linkrot.

I've tied it to a hotkey to copy any bit that is highlighted to the currently open scrapbook. (shift-ctrl-b) without further notifications or interaction other than the keystroke. Super quick and it doesn't get in the way of continued reading.



Firefox is looking to integrate an auto-redirect to the Wayback Machine in case of link-rot. There's a Test Pilot experiement going on and it may be extended to allow for auto-saving of bookmarks on the Wayback Machine when bookmarked.


The wayback machine chrome extension that does this pretty well https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wayback-machine/fp...


I have using scrapbook for ages now, but to save entire pages. It's simple and just works. It's one of my must haves apart from Ublock-origin.

It's handy to have access to the actual webpages complete with formatting and links, but the store could get quite large if you save a lot of pages

Couldn't find anything intentionally similar with good reviews for Chrome.
