How to save a page

In order for this extension to support arbitrary aspect ratios on any site, as well as things such as e.g. Theater mode on youtube, the extension needs to make some assumptions about the page. The problem with the assumptions is that not everything conforms to said assumptions, and some sites are indeed coded in ways that need additional workarounds for Ultrawidify to work.
Due to various reasons (geo-blocking, requiring paid subscriptions, there being too many of them), I am not being able to access all the sites in order to figure out why something doesn't work. In those cases, you may be asked to provide me the page in a .html
file. Here's how you do it.
- Install Save Page WE extension. Firefox, Chrome.
- Visit the site you're having problems with. Pick a video (any video) and let it play for 30 seconds or so.
- Using Save Page WE extension, save the page. (Click extension icon -> save selected tabs -> standard items)
NOTE: This produces the exact snapshot of the page at the time you clicked save. Clicking any button in the html file created by Save Page WE will generally do nothing, and DRM-protected sites may be all black as well. This, however, is not a problem for me.
- Open the HTML with Notepad and search for any personal data (name, surname, email). Feel free to redact those.
- Zip the file. Right-click on the saved .html file and select 'send to → compressed (zipped) folder':
(And if you know what a 7z is, you can use that, too. Just note that
.zip
is vastly preferred over.7z
.) - Attach the
.zip
file to the github issue or your email.
