I used to use archive.today to archive news stories. However, between recently experiencing issues accessing the site and now that FBI trying to shut it down, I need to find a new way to archive.

I came across ArchiveBox, but it seems like you have to self-host and I don’t have the tech skills yet to self-host an application. I also know the Internet Archive has the WayBack Machine, but never have good luck using the site.

I am hoping that I can find a site that is similar to archive.today and is not on the FBI’s watchlist.

    As others have said, SingleFile extenstion works well. I’ve also found zotero with the web extension quite good. Its useful for added organisation/catagoriesation especially since I’m already using it for academic work.

    There is also zimit for use with kiwix, both a comandline version(see github) and website if you want something simpler.

    Although I’ve found the website has long queues quite often and it may not get a clean backup if the website uses cloudflare or the like. But its useful if I need an offline copy of a website with many pages.

    I recommend having a look at the archive team wiki page on software, here, see if anything fits your needs.

      They all look like they can work. Zimit especially looks interesting. I’ll take a look at all of them. Thank you!
