I generally use Pocket for my to-read list but anything I read goes into Pocket. Then if I want to keep a read article for future references I archive it in pocket and delete it otherwise.

What is it that doesn't work? I actually installed it on my own server and use it on Firefox mostly.
The plugin for it,
Ok, I don't understand any Russian :) but it seems there is a plugin on the Opera addons store (https://addons.opera.com/ru/extensions/details/wallabagger/?...).
This addon is mentioned on the following Wallabag page (https://www.wallabag.org/blog_index.html). Hope it works.
EDIT: you can also have a look at Respawn (https://github.com/broncowdd/respawn). It is not as advanced as Wallabag, but it also saves a copy of any webpage to your own server.

#17I think saving to PDF is overkill and takes up extra storage. Unless it is necessary to save images and charts associated with an article. These days, most images associated with articles are just file images someone tossed in for drama's sake (i.e. "A woman despairs over her computer" in relation to an article about budgeting.
So, what about save to plain text? Of course, while you can cut/paste, that's time consuming. I've yet to see a Pocket-like tool to quickly just save to plain-text and copy the relevant title as the file name and maybe also put it and the byline and date at the footer. Would be nice.
