Thanks for answering!

Maybe it's a silly thought or beyond the scope of SingleFileZ, but could you implement the reader view on your side, like some "save in reader view" option where it would save the whole page, then trim it reader view style?

One of my use cases are cooking recipes, which usually come from bloated sites and weigh in the Mbs, but are only a few Kb on reader mode.

You're welcome. I'm glad people are interested in my projects too ;)

Implementing a Reader view is hard, I guess. It looks like it's almost impossible to write a program to be able to do it in a generic way for all existing websites. If one day I find a trick to do so, I'll implement it.

By the way, did you try the "Save selection" feature (cf. the contextual menu)? It allows you to save only the selected part of the webpage. With Firefox, you can even select multiple parts of the page by holding the Ctrl key while selecting contents.

Just a last note to state that I'm delighted with the detailed and thorough preferences.

I don't know if that's your work or if it comes from the forked project, but anyway, congrats and thanks for such a useful addon, keep it up!

Thank you very much! I'm the author of both projects (and zip.js too actually) ;). By the way, if you can, do not hesitate to leave a review on the Mozilla Add-Ons Store.
