Did we lose the option to keep local copies of webpages? (crazypeople.online)

There used to be a feature whereby a bookmarked page could be flagged for offline use. Then when you visit that page, it instantly renders the page regardless of whether you are online. Was that removed?

There is a «File→Work Offline» tickbox, but that’s apparently something different because it gives no way to specify which pages should function offline.

I use SingleFile quite often. But it does not exactly provide the functionality I described.

It would be useful to tag a bookmarked page for offline access. That should simply be a toggle. The bookmark page would then be the UI for organising and controlling the offline content. From there, if I want a page to be organised in my file structure where it would then be reachable by other browsers, it would be useful to SingleFile offline pages while offline.
