Faiz Sheikh (ID: 0000001c970a0428) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/12/2020 Very helpful tool, I use it every now and then. I have a question, when I 'download data' (type=html) and save as CSV the data gets messed up, but when I copy (from extension copy option) and paste to excel the data proper in each cell, but the problem is copying to clipboard takes lot of time, download is fast but the data messes up. I also tried downloading to .txt and copying to excel but that doesnt help either. Is there a way I can 'download data' in a clean format or any workaround.
