I love "printing" webpages to PDF files. I've been doing this for more than 15 years. I delete most of the images first so that I end up with files of 50-500KB. I then store said file in appropriate labeled directories.

Now 15 years later I have a private stash of websites and wikipedia articles that I can consult by simply pressing command+spacebar (the files are indexed in MacOS search).

To make a PDF file out of a website I currently use Printfriendly.com, but it wasn't always this way.

Back in the days I loved to use Arc90's Readability (a firefox extension). I don't know what happend to that extension though, there are plenty of old HN articles about that Wonderfull plug-in though:

It still hosts a working version !!!

Okay kids uses these settings and thank me later: * Style: Athelas * size: small * Margin: narrow * Convert hyperlinks to footnotes

Whenever a pages is worthy of saving, press the button for Readability and pres ctrl+P and save to PDF... that's it.
