Great tool when needing to extract complete web pages for projects, or rebuilds. Nicely done! Improvement suggestion: Remove html for "Close" "Change to TEXT" "Copy entire page HTML" buttons when copying HTML. Not the end of the world, but would be a nice finishing touch!

I installed it in Chrome Version 122.0.6261.95 (Official Build) (32-bit) as well as Chromium-based Vivaldi 6.2.3105.51, , but I find that it is only able to copy the whole page or only one paragraph at a time. Since Chromium-based browsers, unlike in Firefox, provide no easy and quick option to right click on selected portions (including multiple paragraphs) of a page, and hit View Selection Source and thus copy and paste HTML text (first r. clk and choose Wrap long lines) with the coding, and thus paste it, then this extension can be helpful. Especially for me since I do much copy and paste operations in doing research and in forum postings. https://i.postimg.cc/5txYgcdR/FF-View-Sel-Source-R-Clk1-1-10.jpg With Html scan, rather a simple right click on selected portions, including multiple paragraphs and then hit copy (which closes the function) as in Firefox, one must find the icon (two clicks in Chrome) and find Html scan, click on it, and then select text and click, and afterwards close the extension (which should close itself as an option), yet I can only copy one paragraph at a time, or the whole page. https://i.postimg.cc/qRwNS10v/1-1-10.jpg This is partly the fault of Chromium-based browsers, which seems to prevent items being added to to right click menus, while not being able to copy one more than one paragraph at a time adds to the inefficiency.
