In this video we're taking a look at Web Page Downloader.
Now this is, as the name implies download some web pages.
So.
When it comes to web pages, especially when you're dealing with pages that may get altered or may not
be around, could be a phishing page, could be a malicious group, could be a scam or anything of that
nature.
Archiving the web page is fantastic.
So you can again, you can use things like.
Archive, internet archive.
But I also like having offline downloaders too for web pages, because especially if I want to kind
of pick apart the website to see kind of what's in there, I, uh, I might take a offline save of that
page.
That way someone doesn't see me kind of probing that website per se.
So this is a Chrome extension.
So this will work in Chrome.
It'll work in chromium.
It'll work in brave.
So if you look for web page downloader it'll take you here I'm going to add this to brave.
I'm going to add the extension.
Because in this particular computer I'm using brave.
And I'm just going to pin it to make life a little bit easier Here and say this is our page.
I can click on the icon here.
And I'm going to have to enable storage permissions.
So I'm going to click that.
Okay.
Now it gives you a choice here.
Download HTML download images download links.
Save it to mhtml file.
If you choose to download links, do you have to take into account that the total download time can
dramatically increase and zip file can be significantly larger, so you can also download as assets
CSS, JavaScript, download documents, PDFs, etc. you can download content like text or download as
a single HTML file.
So all that is going to be up to you what you want to, how you want to download it.
So I'm just going to do start download to show you an example.
And what's nice is in this box actually tells you hey taking actions we need a connection website connected
downloading this downloading that.
And it starts.
We can see it actually download everything.
Now in the sidebar here we have.
My brave stuff.
So we're going to ignore that so we can see it kind of downloading everything.
I'm going to pause the video because this is going to take a while because again, I did put download
the links, which is going to take longer like it actually said.
So let me pause the video and we'll get back when it finishes.
Okay.
And we're back.
So that took a couple of minutes, which is to be expected.
And we have the zip archive here.
I'm just going to save this here to my folder.
And it's downloading there it was 377kB.
I'm just going to open this here.
And we can see the archive in here.
If I open that we can have we have the index.html.
We can see the scripts images HTML files documents.
So again really useful for preserving websites.
Again perfect use cases if it's a site.
And I don't want them figuring out I'm poking around there.
But I really want to kind of dig into how that website was built.
And if there's any anything kind of hidden and whatnot, I'm going to use something like a H track or,
or this Chrome extension again, web page downloader.
Definitely worth taking a look at.
So thanks for watching.
I'll see you next video.
