I was trying to save a page from cloudfront. All was happened that this extension downloaded a 20B long json with a URL to cloudfront. I was playing around with it for 10 minutes, now I'm giving up.

tried many, this was the only one that i could use to get almost what I needed, with a bit of excel work after, still, saved me at least an hour!
