Tom Kildea (ID: 0000005d58be6618) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/18/2017 Handy for saving a web page despite a couple of limitations. I suggest you copy the address bar before clicking on the extension button. Hit the save button --> paste at the highlighted area --> don't remove the .html --> shorten for clarity (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-as-file/iajmdojjjiapknggfnckblngginmjnbe/reviews?hl=en) would be better saved as (chrome.google.com-webstore-save-as extension)
