Extension summary

Web Page Downloader is a powerful Chrome extension that allows you to download and save entire web pages, including linked resources, for offline viewing and archiving. With a single click, you can capture the currently active web page, along with all linked images, PDFs, documents, and other web pages from the same domain.

NB! Unfortunately, if a page includes elements that load content dynamically, such as when a button is pressed, that content cannot be saved during a download. Dynamically loaded content is only added when the page is loaded or scrolled down.

Since version 2.0, it is also possible to download web pages that are generated on the client side. Since version 2.1, you can effortlessly save entire page as single HTML file.

This extension offers a convenient side panel for easy downloading. Quickly select the content you want to save using the built-in filters and initiate the download with a single click. All downloaded content is compressed into a ZIP file for efficient management.

The ZIP file contains an "index.html" file, which serves as the entry point to the downloaded web page. When opened in a web browser, the "index.html" file faithfully reproduces the original web page's layout, styling, and functionality, ensuring a consistent viewing experience even when offline.

NB! Some websites go to great lengths to prevent anyone from downloading their content, and therefore for some websites the downloaded html may differ from the original html.

Web Page Downloader intelligently handles linked resources, updating the links within the downloaded HTML to point to the locally saved files. This ensures that all linked content, such as images, PDFs, and other web pages, remains accessible and properly rendered, providing a complete and self-contained offline copy of the web page.

No funciona con sitios recuperados con wayback machine, para otros sitios web funciona solo si no tienen listas desplegables, por que si las tienen, no se descarga correctamente la información de esas listas desplegables
