dIREsTRAITS42857dWhy are you saving pages in html? Do you have them in breakfast every morning or what's the deal
-
Are you using some crappy site where the pull to refresh activates when you actually just try to scroll up?
-
exerceo119450d@Lensflare Pages are taken down all the time, as anyone not new to the Internet knows.
-
Lensflare1748049d@exerceo I didn‘t ask why anyone would do that. That’s clear.
But surely you don‘t do it for every single website that you visit.
And for the rare case that you need it, you can quickly launch chrome extra for that. -
exerceo119443d@Lensflare Indeed, but that wastes battery charge and I might need to log in again.
It is more convenient to have all useful features in one browser.

If you too are sick of pull-to-refresh in Google Chrome, please consider signing this petition:

While I doubt it will get Google to change their minds, it is worth a shot.
FAQ:
Why not just use Firefox?
Because it can't save pages as HTML or MHTML file. Don't even get me started with SinglePage; it is bogus garbage.
Why not just use Kiwi/Brave/etc. ?
Because Google made it mandatory in its codebase, Brave and Kiwi browser and all those other chromium-based third-parties have it mandatory too. This needs to change.
