What type of suggestion are you making?

Web UI or UX design improvement

What is the problem that your feature request solves?

Only saves the browser history links and shows and saves them separately without downloading the webpage (optional) for easier navigation.

What is your proposed solution?

Though the new Archivebox UI implements the importing of browser history, it will be nice to have to only archive the links for those who have less storage.

What hacks or alternative solutions have you tried to solve the problem?

How badly do you want this new feature?

It's an urgent deal-breaker, I can't live without it
It's important to add it in the near-mid term future
It would be nice to have eventually
I'm willing to start a PR to develop this myself
I have donated money to go towards fixing this issue

Mini Survey

I like ArchiveBox so far / would recommend it to a friend
I've had a lot of difficulty getting ArchiveBox set up
I would pay $10/mo for a hosted version of ArchiveBox if it had this feature

@pirate commented on GitHub (Jun 26, 2025):

If you only need the URLs just select only the "title" and "favicon" extractor outputs. That will effectively store the bare minimum needed to have an entry without downloading page content. I recommend just adding a tag like urlonly or shallow or something like that, then you can visually separate them in the UI and filter by that tag.
