I have NoteTaker, but to be honest never use it. I’m much more likely to use either Evernote (excellent web clipper), UpNote (also very good web clipper) or Bear (good web clipper) to save web pages. I often end up storing them in Notebooks, my main repository for useful info.

NoteTaker only exists for macOS, unfortunately, whereas Evernote and UpNote are both available for a very broad range of platforms (including Windows and Android, which is what my current smartphone is running). Bear and Notebooks run well on macOS, iOS and iPadOS, but not on any other OSes.

Bear and UpNote are both extremely good at converting web pages to markdown, which saves a lot of disk space. I also sometimes save web pages as PDFs directly to my Inbox folder in Notebooks. Evernote is very flexible, but obviously costs more than any of the other apps mentioned.
