You could try the awesome SingleFile extension: https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile

It might be a good compromise between PDF and plain text. It's pretty nice because it essentially serialises a snapshot of the current DOM tree, so it works with all kinds of JS-generated pages.

The files should be relatively grep-able, because it's normal HTML. Of course, you might want to strip HTML tags for more sophisticated searching.

SingleFile is a really great extension, but I wanted something a bit more pared down that I could easily use on both mobile and desktop and sync between them using Syncthing. So I'm trying to copy some of SingleFile's UI and graft it on to Markdown-Clipper.[1] And also add the ability to save the images that get picked up by Readability (which Markdown-Clipper uses).

Joplin already has this feature via browser extension. It has a mobile app, but never tested it myself.

Thank you for this! I've just tested it on desktop and I think it's wonderful.

FWIW, I use SingleFile on mobile and sync with NextCloud. Works beautifully.

How do you use singlefile on mobile? Android or iOS? Is there some sort of userscript or browser extension on mobile?
