- Builds an organised, searchable archive rather than loose files
- Annotations and highlights are stored with the capture
|
- One self-contained HTML file per page, with assets embedded as data URLs
- Renders exactly as it did online with no network connection
|
- Full features need the companion backend server running
- Setup is more involved than a one-click page saver
|
- Files get large because every asset is embedded and base64-encoded
- Pages that build themselves with JavaScript after load may not capture properly
