What ArchiveWeb.page is
ArchiveWeb.page is a free browser extension and standalone Electron app for capturing webpages and interactive content while browsing. Users begin a capture, navigate a site, and interact with pages or assets to preserve them. Captured collections can be opened in ReplayWeb.page without installing the extension and downloaded as WARC or WACZ files, either in full or by specific page. The extension requires Chrome or another Chromium-based browser; listed tested browsers include Chrome 87+, Brave 1.x+, and Edge 87+. It can run on Mac, Windows, or Linux where Chrome is compatible, while desktop downloads are provided through GitHub Releases. Archives remain in browser storage, can be downloaded to a hard drive, and can be deleted. The project says it collects no usage or tracking data. Archives are private by default, while experimental IPFS sharing may expose them to others. Autopilot can automate some site behavior, without guaranteed results.
