While Chrome deserves credit for being the '''only''' major web browser that lets users save pages into the download folder with no [[data lock-in]], in recent versions (as of 2026), the MHTML files generated by Chrome lack the ".mht" or ".mhtml" file extension, meaning the file name is only the page title with no extension. | |||
This makes some file managers unable to recognize the file type, and makes the user unable to search for MHTML files by typing ".mht" or ".mhtml" in the search bar. | |||

While Firefox mobile allows "printing as PDF", that does not count because PDF documents do not accurately represent the original layout of web pages. PDF is a format for printing to sheets of paper, not for storing continuous web documents. | ||
In recent years (as of 2026), Google enabled saving pages in Incognito mode, realizing there was no reason for it to be disabled, given that downloads are outside the scope of incognito mode. | In recent years (as of 2026), Google enabled saving pages in Incognito mode, realizing there was no reason for it to be disabled, given that downloads are outside the scope of incognito mode. | ||
