Obviously not answering for the OP, but: because sites disappear or change and also having a local database that does not depend on internet access is wonderful. (Zotero is also great in this regard).
Having notes for each bookmark (which I usually use to record key data points I find in web pages), and also notes at the topic and board levels (which can be used for similar purposes): is there still any benefit (above cost) of keeping an exact copy of the webpage you bookmarked?
I guess it all depends on what's the chance of needing to go back to older bookmarks to re-visit something, right?
Another thought: google has become very aggressive at indexing new content, so much so that old stuff becomes hard to find. There’s pages I know I visited that I just can’t find anymore, no matter how hard I use advanced search.

Thanks! I haven't thought about storing the web pages. If I may, why would you like to keep a copy of the webpage you bookmark?

Got it.
I just wonder...
Storing web pages has a cost.

Interesting. Thanks for pointing this out!
Because it's likely to vanish.
Headless chrome can generate PDF files - perhaps you could use that for archiving?
I'll explore this one, thanks!
