WebScrapBook

Capture web pages to local device or backend server for future retrieval, organization, annotation, and editing.

WebScrapBook is a powerful Chrome extension designed to capture web pages exactly as you see them, preserving all details including metadata like source URLs and timestamps. Offering multiple archive formats (folder, ZIP-based HTZ or MAFF, or single HTML files), it allows users to customize what content to save—from selected areas to entire source pages. Beyond storage, users can annotate, highlight, and edit pages before or after capturing.

Organize your captured web content in intuitive scrapbooks within a hierarchical sidebar tree, add notes in HTML or markdown, and quickly retrieve data through robust full-text searching. With support for remote backend servers, WebScrapBook enables access and editing across devices and can generate static website indexes. It also supports mobile browsers such as Firefox for Android and Kiwi, ensuring flexibility for on-the-go capturing. Legacy ScrapBook users can easily migrate their collections for uninterrupted use. For extended functionality, a backend server setup using PyWebScrapBook is available, empowering users with collaborative and enhanced archival features.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

WebScrapBook requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

WebScrapBook is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
