Would Neville Franks’ Clibu work? https://www.clibu.com/

It might sound like an extreme solution—that’s because it is—but I’ve pretty much given up on Windows software for research organization and have turned to the Mac’s DevonThink Pro. One click and everything I come across, from web clippings to electronic documents gets added to its database. ...There *might* be something as elegant, reliable and easy for Windows but I’ve not found it. Not RightNote, not OneNote, not EverNote, not any of the myriad browser add-ons. Nothing.
I was actually shocked by how it improved my work for such things. Not only does it automatically add web clippings (perfectly intact) to its database, it allows me to add all relevant documents that I create or come across electronically AND associate all of them together THEN it allows me to dump all manner of this disparate information that’s relevant to appropriate Mac OR Windows (where I spend most of my time) software. It’s kind of amazing. Everything just works and in a manner not possible in Windows alone.
It was a radical solution for me but it has been worth it.

I can’t agree with you regarding Evernote. Here’s why: Almost a year ago I discovered EN on my phone - which I use for most of my web saving - was no longer downloading full pages as it always used to do. I was just getting the link and a title. I had not changed any settings.So I asked EN if they could fix problem - they couldn’t. And I was paying for premuum.
End of Evernote for me. I had used Pocket at one time so I tried it again. In terms of saving from the web it’s even better than EN was before my problems with it on my phone. Pocket allows for tagging which I make good use of. No other product has consistently saved web pages as accurately as Pocjet does. As a result I will likely fet the oaid version.
Since I wasn’t using EN fir clipping I wonderex if there a better solution for notes. There was, so now for notes or working out ideas virtually everything I do is with Dynalist. Now I nuch prefer working with Dynalist over EN for notetaking. Plus I now use it for tracking appointments and tasks. It is faster and more elegant than EN,
But back to the topic - Pocket is the best I have seen for saving web pages.

Another possibility for Windows users is UltraRecall, which offers two advantages which some of the other solutions lack: (a) ability to edit the saved web clippings; (b) proper handling certain types of complex formatting (e.g. right to left text).
