UnMHT

Betygsatt 5 utav 5 stjärnor

As everyone expected, UnMHT is becoming deprecated. In the meantime, it's still an excellent addon. Its practical successor is probably Save Page WE. Benchmarks against Save Page WE show that UnMHT still has some (occasionally very major) advantages in filesize due to how it groups up multiple references to single resources.

SPWE has some technical advantages in its format, handling of corner cases, and overall structure. Maybe in the future, the gap in filesize between the two addons will be closed.

UnMHT

Betygsatt 5 utav 5 stjärnor

MAF's tendency to corrupt backups is unacceptable, and UnMHT is always perfectly reliable. UnMHT has proper error handling, alerting the user when something can't be saved, while MAF pretends nothing went wrong and destroys your data.

As long as Firefox has non-e10s mode, I will stick with UnMHT. The loss of performance is a pain, but it's worth it to avoid MAF.

Mozilla Archive Format, with MHT and Faithful Save

Betygsatt 1 utav 5 stjärnor

Compared to UnMHT, this is alpha software. MAF breaks frequently, corrupting your files. Saving often produces 0 byte files, silently. Conversion from maff to complete html frequently breaks, silently (and sometimes reliably too, reddit webpages never convert). A while back, Save Image As broke, silently, when Firefox updated, even though Save Image As seemingly has nothing to do with MAF.

Every break has one shared feature: it's always silent. Your backups will be corrupted and you won't have any idea because MAF never raises errors. You have to manually inspect every download to make sure it's ok. If you are a MAF user, you should go to your backup folder now and redownload all the 0-byte files, they'll be there.

Plus, MAF saves an information bar and icons by default. Once again, this is a problem that you won't discover until you manually inspect your backups.

In short, MAF has three problems:
1. the developer doesn't test his addon with Firefox pre-release, so the users are QA, experiencing every problem caused by Firefox updates. A major break appears once every 2 Firefox versions, under which a broad selection of backups will fail entirely.
2. breaks are always silent, the addon never throws errors, instead silently corrupting your backups. This makes 1) a big problem, because backup errors are very benign compared to silently corrupted backups.
3. default information bar save behavior is unpleasant and also completely silent, you won't learn about it until you check. The addon should ask before the first use, for features that permanently affect backups.

UnMHT doesn't have intentions to support Electrolysis, so all its users will be forced to migrate to MAF. I hope that MAF will improve before then.
