Hong Huynh (ID: 0000002c14744a01) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/01/2022 The plugins is working, but because of the header tag is cover the page so when it is captured Page as MHTML it only capture the header tag instead of the content of the page, need to fix the extension code with removing element after chrome.tabs.create function

L H (ID: 000000917a41129f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/21/2021 This created and downloaded a bunch of mhtml files (who uses that anyway?) that even MS Edge was not able to load. The book menus are there, but no content in the middle of the page. NOTE: I am using Window 11 if that might be relevant.

Nick Lai (ID: 0000001cbb91bdb0) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/19/2020 Still a WIP extension. Not recommended.

Joël Germain (ID: 00000047a7305625) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/11/2020 I used it a couple of time to get book offline for school project. Work like a charm if you are in a rush and can't get the book in time. Always support the writer by buying the book if you like it.
