I am also a big fan of Print to PDF. I've actually built a simple bookmarking service [0] that does just this. EmailThis extracts meaningful content from web pages and sends it to your email inbox. You can also tell it to save a PDF copy of each page, in which case the PDF is sent as an attachment. Print-to-Pdf is done using Headless Chrome (so it works exactly like doing a Ctrl-P). I find that the Print to PDF works best because it gives you a copy of the web page even if the original one disappears. Also, none of the content extraction services (mine included) work in 100% of the cases. Sometimes, they might incorrectly remove images and other meaningful content. So in such cases, having a full PDF snapshot is quite handy. Let me know what you guys think. [0] https://www.emailthis.me |

Also interesting is that the context is preserved locally across visits to the site - over 10 years, I have gathered a pretty interesting view of some of the various A/B changes that have gone on, on my favourite 'daily visit' sites ..
And, it is often very revealing of my own habits. This highlights the privacy-factor of having a local-file based bookmark/ontology system a little more in my favour.
