回覆樓下: 看起來這個擴充被 chrome 禁用了, 可能要看作者之後會不會更新了, 如果急著用的話,作者也有做Edge瀏覽器的版本, 可以去Edge的外掛程式商店下載來用。

Супер расширение, жаль что больше не работает( Danny Lin, оно будет еще работать в Хроме?

03.03.2025 The best offline website saver I know. Just configure it and it saves everything or whatever is requested while browsing the browser. Unfortunately, Scrapbook stopped working for me today because of the Chrome browser, so I'm thinking about replacing Chrome with another browser, because Scrapbook is more valuable to me than anyone from Google might think with their obsolescence. I managed to migrate from Firefox to Chrome, going back probably won't be a problem Is there another solution? Thank you very much for the extension, Master of Development.
