How SingleFile Transformed My Obsidian Workflow
That's interesting. I have been saving articles as PDF files, which is browser-independent, but useful just for search and reference, a nuisance to quote/copy-and-paste.
If I search only the computer, I don't get results from EBay and Amazon at the top. The idea of keeping the knowledge base separate from the primary notes is a good idea. In my case, that knowledge base is the file system, and the primary notes are whatever I choose.
When I was using Evernote, the inbox was the knowledge base and notebooks were the focus. I just had too many different potential projects going on to manage this well.
Looking to focus.
I'll revisit Firefox and SingleFile.

My website is one binary
I agree it would be "great" a complete website in the ZIP. I think this is technically possible, someone just have to code it.

Omnivore – free, open source, read-it-later App
Singlefile [1] works pretty well for me for that use case.
It has the added advantage that the file format is just plain HTML, and together with “reader mode” in most browsers, it’s a great way to save long-form text or other mostly static pages for later reference.
It obviously doesn’t work for very dynamic pages, let alone web apps.

Pocket: It gets worse the more you use it
I’ve tried all the third party services for archiving interesting things over the years but nothing beats saving everything to your local filesystem using [SingleFile](https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile) and using a full-text search front over the directory (something like Houdahspot, for example).

How to easily and quickly save all my subbreddit's wikis?
If you want to save them as a file locally you could use something like SingleFile. You could also put the URL for each wiki into archive.org's Save Page Now so that anyone can access it. Either way, without scripting, you'll have to do some manual labor to get the URL for each wiki.

Ask HN: Looking for a great tool to archive websites
For small numbers of pages, the SingleFile[0] extension for Firefox (WebExtension) is pretty handy. It's not "archival quality", though, if that's the kind of "archiving" you're doing.

Chrome's next weapon in the War on Ad Blockers: Slower extension updates
I've edited my comment to also include a link to the Chrome docs, but that FAQ entry also has the link to an issue in the webextensions repository indicating it's a limitation of MV3: https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/112

There are no strings on me
Google outlawing dynamic code in Web Extensions/mv3 is a travesty of high order. There's no place I want to be able to be more alive than my agents. Yet my agents must all be dead. For shame, ye villains.

This post definitely was quite a technical explanation. The opening framing, to me, means the world.

Chrome Users Beware: Manifest V3 Is Deceitful and Threatening – EFF
The other big change of mv3 that gets no coverage but which is dear to me is that mv3 outlaws any kind of dynamic code. The whole app has to be statically defined. This makes it much easier to know what's running, since an extension can no longer go pull in extra code, but it greatly reduces what you can do as an extension too. Extensions have to have all behaviors predefined. I can't dial home & load my behaviors. Here's the issue, https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/139
For a while it meant that userscripts didn't have any way to run. So Google introduced a new API for user scripting. But those extensions only run in "developer" mode. I'm guessing that means when devtools are open?
I agree a lot with your premise. It sure seems like Google is targeting everyone with these changes, but that better real affordances & escape hatches need to be builtin to not maim the lives of power users. It took a long long time to come up with a userscript solution, and it seems like an awful doesnt-work-for-me workaround (I use userscripts not to dev but to modify everyday experiences). Chrome just hasn't been taking their obligation to user agency seriously.

Firefox users may import Chrome extensions now
> the extension APIs are standardised enough that this is actually possible a lot of the time
A bit off topic, but as a co-chair of the WebExtensions Community Group[1] (WECG) I'm a bit touchy about the calling WebExtensions "standardized." A few years back the Browser Extensions Community Group[2] created a spec for WebExtensions, but it never reached a state that we'd normally refer to as a web standard. (Technically W3C community groups can only produce "Reports" and these documents are not on the standards track.[3])
FWIW, I'm very bullish about specifying and (hopefully) standardizing the WebExtensions platform. I'm especially excited about having a good chunk of dedicated time to sit with browser folks at TPAC 2023[4] and try to work out some open questions about where we're going and how we're going to get there.

uBlock Origin Lite now available on Firefox
While I was trying to find out what Firefox's limits are I came across this interesting issue on the W3C's webextensions repo: https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/319
4 days ago the Chromium developers proposed upping the limit for certain types of declarativeNetRequest rules based on data AdGuard provided on real world rule lists.

Google's trying to DRM the internet, and we have to make sure they fail
Manifest v3 is used for Chrome's extensions system. The proposal appears to limit what extensions have access to, and what they can do in Chrome. It is proposed as a W3C standard by Google. It is being tracked at the W3C at https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/44.

Manifest V2 Chrome Extension Phaseout Delayed Until 2024
Google is not even close to finishing MV3: "On the userScripts API, the proposal has been merged into the WECG but the engineering work has not started yet." https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/blob/f8f430f1904c2a6fa8...
MV2 is sticking around until at least 2024.
