I will be stuck in low or no internet areas and having a way to save a whole website (such as a small community wiki or something) to browse while bored would be very nice. It’d be nice if its features like search could be kept working. Any suggestions for a Foss app that can do this?

    While it seems chromium based browsers are able to download pages to view later, it doesnt seem it saves a whole website.

      Kiwix isn’t a web browser exactly and doesn’t download web pages the way your browser saves them. It uses a specialized file format, and it can be used to back up an entire site. For instance the kiwix library has an offline copy of wikipedia (no images), but it weighs in at more than 100GB last I looked.
