I am working on a Chrome extension, and an important function of it is: when a new tab created, this extension will "save" the whole web page to the hard disk automatically. Just like the built-in "save as" function of Chrome.

I did not get an answer from google for this topic. Would someone please tell me how to do that. It would be better to offer some examples.

  • Like you want to save the whole page as HTML, CSS and JS? Or as an image? Commented Mar 30, 2017 at 13:38
  • Yes, exactly. There are some download links in the web page which would send to customers. So I prefer to save and forward the original HTML page, instead of image or pdf. Commented Mar 30, 2017 at 13:41

You can use chrome.pageCapture API to save the page (along with contents such as image, css, scripts) as MHTML file to disk.

See https://developers.chrome.com/extensions/pageCapture
