How to toggle reader mode/readability? It doesn't seem to be able to save pages when I toggled chromium's reader mode on.

I followed the other advice on this thread. In the options:

- Annotation editor > default mode > format the page

- Annotation editor > annotate the page before saving

It automatically format the page into reader mode then I can click "Save the page" icon to save it. But sometimes I want to download the page as is. Like this thread for example. "Restore all removed elements" button doesn't seem to work to revert the changes.

For now I just set default as mode as normal and enable "annotate the page before saving", and then click "Format the page for better readability" when needed.




You could also create 2 separate profiles in the options page. One profile would open the annotation editor and the other would not. Then, you would just have to save pages with the appropriate profile. To restore the page, you should click on the "format page" icon.


Thank you. I'll give multiple profiles a try. As mentioned by some of the comments. It's a good tool for managing bookmarks. ArchiveBox supposedly does something similar but I couldn't make it work.


Thank you for the feedback! Regarding the bookmark management, it could certainly be better. I would have to find some time to code a bookmark manager extension based on SingleFile maybe.


Thank you for the extension. It works well enough for my bookmarks. Just open the bookmarks on my browser and use the "Save all tabs" feature.

I think I'm not the only one who wants an alternative to pocket. A bookmark manager that can archive the links to prevent linkrot.
