librewolf-winupdater VS SingleFile

LibreWolf Portable and the LibreWolf WinUpdater by @ltguillaume are now included optionally in the windows installer. If you have any problems or feedback please leave it here.

use this: https://codeberg.org/ltguillaume/librewolf-winupdater

I hope you'll find the time to download the new PowerShell script from there, put it into the same folder as LibreWolf-WinUpdater.exe and try it out (right-click, "Run with PowerShell"). You can post your findings here or in the issue on Codeberg (or create a new one on GitHub if you already have an account there).

/u/AbrarFN The build process was changed, which also meant the download location was changed somewhat. I wasn't (made) aware of this until the new release was already online. I updated LibreWolf WinUpdater within the hour, you can get it from https://codeberg.org/ltguillaume/librewolf-winupdater/releases/latest or https://github.com/ltguillaume/librewolf-winupdater/releases/latest

Just use https://github.com/ltGuillaume/LibreWolf-WinUpdater for automatic updates.

Functionality is simply not implemented for some reason, but there are workarounds to that like using a package manager or installing the updater they recommend in their site

This is about the extension. Since u/DotaFSS was asking about an app, I assume his question was with regard to https://github.com/ltGuillaume/LibreWolf-WinUpdater

This won't update LibreWolf automatically. When a new version is released, you have to manually install the new setup.exe again. If you want to get notified when a new version is released, you can get the unofficial LibreWolf Updater extension You can also take a look at the unofficial LibreWolf-WinUpdater, which automatically updates LibreWolf on Windows when its not running.

Apparently it has some default settings that the mods don't agree with. If you do use it anyway make sure you keep it updated with your package manager on Linux or a tool like LibreWolf-WinUpdater on Windows.

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.

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

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.

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).

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.

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.
