Google chrome does not save html pages. How to Save a Web Page as a Single File in Chrome and Firefox

Working in global network, we sometimes come across information on various sites that is especially valuable to us and. Web pages with such information immediately want to be saved separately on HDD for offline.

This will be quite reasonable if you suddenly have any connection problems or the site itself, where you originally found the information, becomes unavailable.

However, in two of the most popular alternative browsers – Mozilla Firefox And Google Chrome, the option to save pages is far from ideal.

The main inconvenience here is that any web page you choose to save will be projected onto your hard drive in html form-file and a whole folder with various content of this page.

If you have to save often enough, then after a while on the desktop or any folder where you put files, real chaos will form. Moreover, html file and the folder associated with it are inseparable from each other, that is, if you accidentally delete one of them, you will not look at the second one.

Therefore, it is much more convenient to save web pages in a single file. Such a file has an .mht (MHTML) extension and is called a web archive (but it should not be confused with .webarchive in Apple Safari, as they are different incompatible formats).

Oddly enough, the first browser to offer MHT support back in 1999 was Internet Explorer 5.0. In 2006, in version 9.0, the same technology was first adopted by the Norwegian Opera. Already in Opera 9.5 MHT became the default save format.

Unlike Internet Explorer and Opera, two other equally popular browsers - Firefox and Chrome - do not currently support this format, which often causes inconvenience to their users.

However, fixing this problem is not at all difficult.

So, add MHT support to Firefox easily and simply with UnMHT. In order to do this, launch the browser, in the main menu, click on the "add-ons" section.

To do this, open the main menu, and in it "settings" -\u003e "toolbar".

The UnMHT extension has a whole arsenal of all kinds of additional settings and functions.

When we first met him, we were somewhat disappointed. The module was successfully installed, but its key function For some (most likely temporary) reasons, I could not do it.

The situation here changed dramatically after Google unexpectedly decided to do the job of adding full support MHT to your browser.

You can already activate this experimental option in test (canary) builds of the program, and soon it will become available for selection in stable releases.

So to enable MHT support in Google Chrome Type "chrome://flags" in the address bar of your browser, then press "Enter". As a result, you will be taken to the Chrome Experimental Features page, which we have already covered in detail.
P.S. Since the speech in this material has again turned to browsers and their functions, we, taking this opportunity, want to draw your attention to one more recent news related to them.

Recall that very soon Mozilla is preparing to introduce the 13th version of its Firefox web browser. One of the most interesting innovations in it should be a new software reset option (Firefox Reset), which we have already discussed in previous articles.

Today we invite you to familiarize yourself with a visual video demonstration of how this feature works.
