Understandable. Archive.today is really good at getting website content, but their methods are proprietary and a little dubious.
If you just want to save things locally, I believe Single File is really good. It downloads the page that you see on your browser, as you see it.

Also, as the name indicates, it downloads the page as a single file. Obviously, it doesn’t help for archiving the page for other people, though.

Couldn’t you host it somewhere yourself? I guess there’s a question of trust there, but trust is the reason Wikipedia has decided to stop using archive.today

I would probably use the Wayback Machine for that. You can give it the page’s address and tell it to make a copy.
