Miguel Angel Acevedo (ID: 0000001205e1d78d) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/25/2023 Seems not working anymore, also there are a lot of pending PR on the Github repo. Most likely not maintained anymore.

Grinny Green (ID: 0000008781926bbd) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/21/2022 When I click the "edit chapter" menu after adding some pages as chapters, those pages disappeared and nothing was shown there. This happens so often, rather frustrating!

Stanislav Modrak (ID: 00000007e347ca9e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/08/2022 Best available webpage to epub converter. Preserves everything even the CSS styling which is rare. The images must be local to the site tho, any CDN provided images via links are omitted.

Luc Loiseau (ID: 0000003bd44e9171) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/22/2022 Vraiment très bien. J'ai pu l'appliquer à une page qui n'était accessible qu'une fois authentifié et qui comportait de nombreuses images. Contrairement à bon nombre d'autres extensions du même type que j'ai pu tester, les résultats que j'ai obtenu sont très satisfaisants.
