Harvest the Web with OutWit (Firefox)
masu:
Does't work on my system, Firefox crash each time I want to start it :(
f0dder:
Sometimes I think it's not worthy to 'harvest' webpages, keep a webpage versioned, revised and updated is more and more popular. ;D
Just save URL to del.icio.us and check it out later.
Is the Web evolving from user-generated to user-refreshed ?

Sometimes, pages go missing from the internet, though - which sucks. For some kinds of information (research, source code snippets, technical info, reverse-engineering related matters, ...) keeping a local copy can be very nice.

Sounds like one can cut through a lot of wasted hits in a search on the net.
Good comments so far at Firefox-only 6 but 6 for 6 is actually good for these things, unless there are fake, but I don't think that's the case.
Going to give it a work out soon.
Google searches find too much unless you use quatation marks, and then you are not likely to get much at all, perhaps this will be more to the point.
