What is WebScrapBook?
WebScrapBook is a browser extension that captures web pages for later use. It can save web pages in different formats, record metadata, and allows customization. It evolved from the Firefox add-on, 
ScrapBook X . Features include customizable capture of web content, page editing capabilities, and support for various archive formats. It organizes captured pages in the browser sidebar using scrapbooks, which can be indexed for search. Captured data can be hosted on a server for remote access or turned into a static website. It also supports mobile browsers like Firefox for Android. Lastly, WebScrapBook supports the conversion of scrapbooks created from legacy ScrapBook or ScrapBook X into a WebScrapBook-compliant format for usage.
Comments and Reviews
I used to use the old Scrapbook extension for Firefox which became defunct with Firefox 57. WebScrapBook is a perfect replacement for newer browsers.
(Web)ScrapBook is amongst the most useful browser extension out there. It allows you to save and, annotate and markup (highlight) webpages that you come across whilst browsing the internet. It is an excellent tool for research. And on top its free. This extension deserves to be more popular.
The unique selling point of (Web)ScrapBook is, that it completely resides within your browser. It's not connected to any service that siphons off your personal and private data.
