It also works with JavaScript-heavy websites like Mastodon and Youtube, which the standard “Save Page” feature implemented in all browsers usually fails to save, though some features like collapsibles are missing.

      A property secured site won’t serve its css and js when requested from a non configured domain (such as localhost), so the html is the only part that will work when you save the page as.

        Selecting “Save as” is not the same as “view while offline”.

        “Save as” is just a legacy function that has been passed down to Save the HTML into a file. It’s not used to “save” pages or sites to view offline.

        The ability to properly Save a page to view offline is already included in most browsers. Even Edge has that functionality built into it.
