    I used to love the MAFF file format old add-on. I've been missing it till now. Your add-on works pretty well for me. The extra feature for editing (like highlighting) is way too cool. Thanks a lot!

    My only question is, how much is this one better than SingleFileZ? I'm curious about that, I mean, why should I use SingleFile instead of SingleFileZ?

    EDIT March/11/2020:
    The Developer response to my question was pretty clear. Now I understand the differences very well. Thanks a lot for your answer and awesome work!

    Thank you for the review. I would say that the main advantage of SingleFile over SingleFileZ is that pages saved with SingleFile do not require JavaScript to be enabled in order to be displayed. In other words, if you want to save your pages as "pure" HTML files, use SingleFile. If you prefer to save them as zip files disguised as HTML pages, use SingleFileZ.

    Note that SingleFile allows you to edit the page with the editor you refer to (I'm glad you like it). SingleFileZ cannot do this because it is more complicated to implement.

    EDIT: Thank you!

    Make sure to enable this for JavaScript (https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile/blob/master/faq.md#why-dont-interactive-elements-like-folding-titles-dynamic-maps-or-carousels-work-properly-in-saved-pages).
    Works great! However, I really feel like saving scripts, audio elements, etc. should be enabled by default.

    Thank you for the review. The default settings are optimized to produce light (and faithful) snapshot of pages because this was the most recurrent complain in the past. That's why the options you mentioned are disabled. Note also that disabling the option "remove scripts" can, unfortunately, lead to corrupted pages.

    very very simple
    I liked Mozilla Archive format, but it is not compatible with new version Firefoks. Therefore I look for the capabilitise for save page to read it off line. I Explorer give such functionality. Single file is good add-on
