since I wrote this, i started experimenting with grab-site:
https://github.com/ludios/grab-site
it's a wrapper around (and a fork of) wpull but the main advantage over it is it can do on-the-fly reconfiguration of delay, concurrency, ignore patterns and so on. it also provides a nice web interface. if you're only crawling one site every once in a while, wpull and crawl are fine, but for larger projects, grab-site is a must.
In Archiving web sitesI use grab site for extensive archiving operations. It’s not an extension, but trivial to launch from a command line (and I stuff the data into a Backblaze B2 account for later Internet Archive ingestion).
You could take this and post process your internet history on a rolling basis to accomplish your goal.
