For me it bridged the gap that warped into existence between the time when "take screenshot" existed on firefox and when webpages figured out some people did this to archive pages and started putting crap in to either mess with the layout or otherwise "break" the resulting file.
It snapshots a web page to a single html file. At least that's what i use it for. I use it to both archive stuff and to have proof that some site published something.
The next order up would be archivebox or whatever archive.org uses (the name escapes me) - which is a very heavy caching proxy that can save entire websites into a single directory in a way that wget/curl and all the other crawlers cannot.
If you care that the exact layout and everything is perfect, right now i think singlefile is aces.
It takes whatever is in the Dom of the page you are viewing, and sticks it into a single HTML file that can be served later and will reproduce with high Fidelity the source page.
I use it to export an HTML file that I can stick in my logseq archive for later. So much better than just printing to a PDF!
