Save Page WE

Firefox addon : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... src=search

Save Page WE provides a simple facility to save a web page (as currently displayed) as a single HTML file that can be opened in any browser. The saved page is a highly accurate representation of the original page.

I have been saving pages with SingleFile and its sibling ...SinglefileZ for quite a while.
It is very, very good. However, I have two issues:
1. All files are saved to /root/Downloads and the authors have no way of changing that. It is because I choose in my Firefox preferences to ask where downloads are to be saved, instead of the default Downloads.
2. I find it annoying that all saved files have appended to the name a "time stamp" like:
How to Use the uniq Command on Linux (2020-02-09 9_46_12 AM).html
I have to change every saved file.

Also been using Save page WE, but I reserve it for when I don't need the graphics on a page. That is when ...SingleFile is the boss. You get every graphic. Be patient.

As a Firefox user, I often use "reader view" then copy/paste as an alternative to Save page WE when I just want text.
