Yes, exactly that. So much stuff just vanishes, it's prudent to simply download everything by default. Whether that's a video with yt-dlp, or a webpage with singlefile or other tools, save it all.

I wish I had better tools for simply saving everything I see on the internet at all times. The disk-space cost would be trivial in the era of terabyte drives, and simply never worrying about link-rot would be huge.

I found grab-site to be extremely effective with even complex, content-heavy websites. Dunno about YouTube though, I’m afraid of what would happen if I tried running such an archival routine. My server would probably catch fire.

What I really want is a thing that goes through my browser history and just archives everything unless I specifically exclude it.

Browser history _used_ to do that, almost. You could browse your history offline and pages would still render. And at some point, that stopped working.
