Description

This extension offers a toolbar button to save the current page in the MHTML/MHT web archive format, which converts all online links to the offline version and saves all online resources offline enabled. Right-click Context Menu Functions: 1. Design Mode: You can edit the current page and add or remove images. 2. Reader View (declutter): Simplifies the page by keeping the main content only. It removes banners, toolbars, and advertisements from the page. This extension uses Mozilla's Readability library to simplify web pages. 3. Keep Selection Only: Creates a new document from the selected text. Use it if you need to archive part of a page. MHTML (short for MIME HTML) is a file extension for a Web page archive file format. The archived Web page is an MHTML document. MHTML saves the Web page content and incorporates external resources, such as images, applets, Flash animations, and so on, into HTML documents. When you save a Web page as a Web archive, the page is saved as an MHTML file. Any relative links in the HTML will be remapped so the content can be located. Relative links are those that don't include all information about the location of the content but assume all content is in a directory on the host server MHTML files may also go by the extension MHT.

It seems to have been updated on August 16, but the problem has not yet been resolved The problem has not been fixed for about 10 months since October 2024 The issues that need to be fixed are as follows: ・The file name format is not working, and when you save the page, the name becomes “Download” ・You cannot enter the extension unless you set the Mime Type to multipart/related It works fine in Edge This extension is very convenient and simple, so I hope the issues will be fixed and it will be usable again

I was relying on this for all of my page-saving needs. Then the update completely made this extension obsolete. Does not work at all! DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

Does not work on certain sites. For example, it misses some of the comments on a GAB page.

It's downloading text but not images which makes it almost useless for much of my needs.

Why does the saved file have no extension? Why is the saved file named "download"? Can you solve these basic problems before publishing?

Revert to past version! It can't download many websites anymore. And do not change icon in every update!

tried several times of clicking that button, it just generate some file like: 6c4dde05-cb55-46e0-a9a9-ffd727b16395.txt, when i change it into 6c4dde05-cb55-46e0-a9a9-ffd727b16395.mhtml, it's ok to open as expected. but just don't know why the file name and the file extension is like that, which is not expected at all.
