Describe the bug
I have a few Medium posts stored on my filesystem. These posts can be archived using SingleFile, when I open them from Medium without any problem. The posts stored on my filesystem can't be opened normally, as there's something inside the page's script that prevents them from being displayed that way. So I just removed script from the HTML and the page can be displayed in my browser, but then it can't be archived using SingleFile, as it fails with: "this page cannot be saved contains a sidebar experience"

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to any paywalled Medium post
  2. Archive it with SingleFile - all works ok
  3. Save the post to your file system
  4. Remove script from the saved page, as it has some logic to prevent users from storing medium posts on their filesystems
  5. Open the stored page in your browser - it displays OK
  6. Archive it with SingleFile - "this page cannot be saved contains a sidebar experience"

Expected behavior
The page is archived by SingleFile.
