Удалось в первозданном виде сохранить страницу, которую не сохранял ни один браузер. Автору большое спасибо и успехов в работе!

Unable to get this to work on Firefox 133 and Fedora 40. Installed the backend and the browser extension. Could not find any configuration for the backend that would work. There needs to be a more specific set of instructions written by someone who has successfully installed this extension in Linux, unless this only works in Windows. Perhaps this is a great extension but it is worthless if it cannot be installed.
