Description from store

WARCreate is a Google Chrome extension that allows a user to create a Web ARChive (WARC) file from any browsable webpage. The resulting files can then be used with other tools like the Internet Archive's open source Wayback Machine. The tool is an evolving product with the end result pushing toward being a personal web archiving solution for those that wish to securely archive their metadata in a standardize way.

RECENT VERSION HISTORY
Version 0.2021.6.28 Fixes an issue to capture URIs without relative indicators.

Zappa Penguin 2023-06-17: Too inconsistent to be trusted. For instance, it hangs when trying to WARC this storefront page. It's very opaque, with no way to check status - you click "generate" and it doesn't do anything, either because it's actually generating a WARC or because it's crashed or hung on something, and there's just no telling which possibility is the case. On the bright side, it's not a CLI python script, so... points for that.

Stefan Quandt 2019-03-09: Nach Installation muss man eine zu archivierende Seite erste einmal neu laden, damit ein Klick auf den Tool-Button der Extension einen "Generate WARC"-Button zeigt. Leider hat dann aber ein Klick auf diesen Button keinerlei Wirkung (nicht einmal das Menü mit dem Button verschwindet). Getestet mit Google Chrome 72.0.3626.121.

Panos Diakakis 2015-03-22: Software is needed to replay the WARCs by nature of the format. I recommend using Web Archiving Integration Layer (WAIL), a software suite that came about because of WARCreate.
