## Description

Save Page WE is a versatile Chrome extension that enables users to save web pages exactly as displayed into a single HTML file. This file preserves all the essential elements such as images, stylesheets, fonts, videos, and scripts (within same-origin frames) embedded as data URIs so the page remains fully functional offline. Users can save individual pages, multiple selected tabs, or a list of URLs, making it perfect for research, archiving, or offline reading.

The extension supports automation through command line for batch saving and offers various customizable options such as save methods, delay for dynamic content loading, file naming conventions with metadata placeholders, handling of lazy-loaded or cross-origin content, and integration with Print Edit WE for enhanced compatibility. The intuitive toolbar button and context menu quick actions along with keyboard shortcuts provide easy access to saving functions. Save Page WE is compatible with both Chrome and Firefox with consistent features and is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2.
