There's zero hope of implementing something like the unfortunately named Scrapbook Plus & Scrapbook X research addons. In-browser editing & powerful manipulation, full text search within saved pages, direct access to the saved archives, the sidebar, the specialized capture options and quite a bit more require features (XUL-based and otherwise) that Mozilla won't implement. It's the biggest thing keeping me on Waterfox beyond Mozilla continual slide into sleaziness on privacy and afaik no browser not based on pre-quantum firefox supports anything like it.
Beyond research or archiving pages I think will disappear If I want to yank the content from posts across five sites, clean it up quickly, merge it into a single document and export it for conversio

n with calibre it's trivial with Scrapbook X and a pain with anything else I've tried. If I want to archive everything that I look at while digging into a topic or site I just turn on auto-save and start browsing. I'm fairly certain having no replacement for a major part of my workflow & browsing habits doesn't mean that I'm anti-security* or I'm scared, but that Mozilla no longer supports the tools I need. I'm grateful that Waterfox does.
*It's almost a hobby: Firejail, uMatrix & NoScript in paranoid mode, rejecting all cookies by default & extensive use of containers, different vpn connections and separate profiles for different kinds of browsing, etc.
