remove-youtube-suggestions VS SingleFile

Funnily enough, the code responsible for hiding shorts in that is just under 20 lines long :P

Same! There is an excellent extension for this called RYS which makes it really easy to toggle parts of youtube you don't want https://github.com/lawrencehook/remove-youtube-suggestions

self-promo, but you might find my extension helpful. https://lawrencehook.com/rys/

Also Remove YouTube Suggestions. It can go hard into removing anything popping up at all on the YouTube site that's not the video.

I’ve given up, and I dislike having content pushed to me in general.

I use a combination of Remove YouTube Suggestions[1] and prefacing “intitle:” before any YouTube search to avoid weird matches that point me to irrelevant content.

I think it’s ridiculous that I need to constantly click “show less like this” and exert so much effort to train YouTube. I also hate how they’ll insert random unrelated videos “For Me” or “Watch it Again” in my search results. It’s all designed to keep me on the site and distracted… better to avoid it entirely.

Remove YouTube's Suggestions well, does as the name implies. You can completely nuke your YouTube UI. So no more reccomended videos, end of video grids, search bar reccomendations, none of it. This is also still being maintained by its creator, Lawrence Hook, and it actually got an update as recently as of 5 days ago. Unfortunately it's exclusive to Firefox for now. Firefox Github

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.
