Webrecorder

Our latest release of Browsertrix (1.24) includes significant improvements to archiving Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, including new “smart scoping” options to archive individual posts, reels, etc. automatically. Read our latest blog post for more details! webrecorder.net/blog/2026-07...

The stuff I've been working on recently is finally public! I've spent the past bit revamping the social media site support in Browsertrix. We can capture much more content from Facebook and Instagram now, and I've also fixed Youtube video capture. webrecorder.net/blog/2026-07...

This incredible story underscores, amongst other things, the need for trust and transparency in arching tools, and for web archiving toolchain to be fully open source and archives to be verifiable.

What has the Webrecorder team been up to recently? A whole lot -- we've been a little too busy working on new features and improvements to have time to share, until now! Here's latest blog post from @bitarchivist.net covering last three Browsertrix releases: webrecorder.net/blog/2025-12... !

Browsertrix 1.18 is out, with support for large seed lists and a new email system so invites, password resets, and everything else is clearer, smoother, and prettier. Also better QA and a setting to automatically fail a crawl when you get logged out. webrecorder.net/blog/2025-08...

Up on the Webrecorder blog today: a post all about our latest Browsertrix release, 1.17. This release was focused on two much-requested features: crawl pause/resume and crawling websites with only 1 or 2 browser windows. Read more on our blog: webrecorder.net/blog/2025-07...
