Developer response
posted duela 8 hilabeteI'm sorry for the inconvenience. This sounds like a bug but I cannot reproduce it and you're the only person reporting it. It's supposed to display the announcement only once the extension updated to the version 1.22.x. The announcement has been removed in the new version anyway.
BTW, you're supposed to contact me or post an issue here https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile/issues when you encounter a bug. The advantage is that this "trick" works for any open-source project. It's more productive because your comment has been flagged as a "bug report", it will surely be deleted and will have served absolutely no purpose. - Rated 5 out of 5by CP9100, duela 8 hilabete
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14972800, duela 8 hilabeteSingle File is an outstanding tool as it enables us to save perfect HTML screenshots of webpages with all resources embedded and even with my own annotations. Amazing for lots of processes. Thank you and kudos for the developer.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Gnarf, duela 8 hilabeteThis extension doesn't work as expected:
I'd like to use it to archive my article listings on eBay. If I save such a page using SingleFile and then open the saved page, the image magnifier and most other interactive elements do not work. This problem appears in every browser I have tested (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, all up to date at the time of writing). I already have unblocked every resource type in the "Network - blocked resources" section of the extension's options.
Further investigation (looking at the console in Firefox) showed that Firefox wanted to load a bunch of scripts and other resources from the eBay website when opening the saved page. This failed due to the Content-Security-Policy, which is understandable. This means that SingleFile does not download scripts and other resources as expected, or does not save them locally, or does not change the URLs of such resources in the saved page so that the resources' local versions are used when opening the saved file.
Given that, the extension is not usable for me. At least, it doesn't provide anything that "File -> Save Page As ..." does not provide as well (I don't care whether or not a saved page is contained in a single file, and every browser except Firefox can save a page to a single file anyway).Developer response
posted duela 8 hilabeteThis is a known issue, you can find more info here: https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile/blob/master/faq.md. Although, with your level of requirement, you should save page in the WARC format. This is probably your only hope of saving the web page properly.
The purpose of SingleFile is to save the page in a single file in a standard, durable format - that's what the extension is all about. - Rated 5 out of 5by ClauS, duela 8 hilabete

- Rated 5 out of 5by Nejy, duela 9 hilabeteIncredibly useful, especially for archiving pages. Instead of printing a page as a PDF for your records, this will be the new gold standard.
