## What it is
WebScrapBook is a browser extension that captures web pages faithfully into various archive formats (including MAFF and HTZ) for local or backend-server storage. It supports retrieval, organization, annotation, and editing of captured pages, inheriting from the legacy Firefox ScrapBook X add-on.

## Use cases
- save a full copy of a web page for offline reading
- archive web pages before they disappear
- capture pages with images and styles into a single archive file
- organize and annotate saved web pages like a scrapbook
- back up bookmarks together with page snapshots
- search through my archived web pages

## When to choose
- you need faithful, full-page captures with multiple archive format options
- you want to organize, annotate, and edit captured pages in a browser-integrated tool
- you want captures stored locally or on your own backend server
- you use both Chromium-based and Firefox-based browsers, including mobile

## When to avoid
- you only need a quick single-file snapshot without organization features
- you need server-side bulk crawling rather than interactive page capture
- you want cloud-synced archiving managed by a third-party service
