(I can understand why it was impossible, given the vital business need to push Pocket. But now that Pocket is gone…)

in reply to Phoronix • • •For those who actually want to save webpages for offline viewing, might I recommend Zotero and its Firefox extension?
zotero.org/
They advertise themselves as a bibliography tool that you can use when researching a paper which can then export a BibTeX file. But it works great as long-term document storage and the documents can be webpages too.
