Softonic review

Free web archiver

Never lose a link or a service ever again. Conifer is an archive manager that creates an interactive copy of any web page you visit. This platform is especially important for playing audio or videos, scrolling web pages, clicking on links, etc. If you’ve experienced links breaking, information being removed from the web, services disappearing, you can use Conifer to make sure that they will always stay available

Collect and revisit websites 

Non-profit arts organization, Rhizome, has renamed WebRecorder as Conifer. The platform stands out from crawler-based web archiving methods. Its approach allows even the most intricate websites to be captured and restaged. These meticulous sites include embedded media, complex Javascript, and user-specific content and interactions. They’re typically the dynamic elements of a web page. You can store 5GB worth of storage - a substantial space for organizing and sharing web collections to all Conifer users.

Storing through Conifer is simple. Once you’re logged into a page, you can capture what you see and put it into a collection. You can allow the public to access it, or share it with a select number of people. Should you share files publicly, other users will not be able to see your login credentials or other personal information. Every web archive can be downloaded regardless of its accessibility settings. It will be available in WARC file format.

Seeing as it can be downloaded by anyone, it’s worth considering when you want to give strangers access to the archive. The platform’s other offering is its selection of pre-configured browsers. They all run on Conifer’s servers so they can deliver the most thorough snapshot of network traffic and support for Flash. These features are superb, but it is run by a non-profit. Their ability to deliver their services will depend on grants, donations, and volunteers. 

Preserve your most important links 

Conifer is a program worth supporting and using. It solves many problems involving losing a web page, service, or file. Second, you can discover other web pages from publicly accessible collections. You can also make your collection available for everyone, but consider that they are users you don’t know and cannot trace. Lastly, you can store 5GB worth of pages and download them to your PC. It’s a very useful program, but its stability can waver since it relies heavily on donors.
