I appreciate the tip. It was alienating at first but after some fiddling it seems like a good option. My findings--

Pros

  • It’s able to save a page as a single file which can be opened in both Firefox and Chromium browsers (rare!)
  • It’s able to faithfully save a Github issue page that correctly renders when re-opened. (All other tools fail on a GH issue)
  • The URL is embedded on the 3rd line of the file (rare.. no other tool does this)

Cons

  • No control over where it saves the file
  • Forced GUI, no commandline (though I’m not sure if it can be hacked to run automatically in a headless Firefox or something)
  • No icon appears in the plugin tray. And cannot be added using the Firefox custom toolbar tool.
  • Default keystroke is control-shift-y (which clashes with the stock keystroke for reaching about:downloads)
  • There is no menu item for it

I was only able to get it to work by re-assigning a custom keystroke which I will forget and have to visit the addon manager to recall.

 

If I save a page to a local HTML file, I do not see where the URL of the page itself is saved. There is no comment or anything at the top that contains the URL. So I have to either add a comment manually myself or make a note of it somewhere, or bookmark it.

Is there a smarter way of working? Can the URL be derived or fished out of the saved file, or is there any feature that saves the URL as well?

FATCA specifically oppresses Americans who live outside the US. It strong-arms banks into treating Americans adversely different based on their national origin (ranging from denial of service to extra data collection and disclosure). I thought Americans were the only people who broadly face discrimination in banking due to their nationality. But I recently heard of other nationalities (not Americans) who are refused bank access due to their nationality (in Europe, where we might have a high expectation of human rights).

I could never get the details. People that report this to me have been vague. But I’ve heard it twice now. Does anyone know the specifics? Which nationalities and why?

 

something in the sidebar about what this community covers would be useful.

(edit) it seems the name and title of the group differ.. one has an extra E.
