Create Wayback-Consumable WARC Files from Any Webpage

• (2023-06-17) Zappa Penguin: Too inconsistent to be trusted. For instance, it hangs when trying to WARC this storefront page. It's very opaque, with no way to check status - you click "generate" and it doesn't do anything, either because it's actually generating a WARC or because it's crashed or hung on something, and there's just no telling which possibility is the case. On the bright side, it's not a CLI python script, so... points for that.

• (2019-03-09) Stefan Quandt: Nach Installation muss man eine zu archivierende Seite erste einmal neu laden, damit ein Klick auf den Tool-Button der Extension einen "Generate WARC"-Button zeigt. Leider hat dann aber ein Klick auf diesen Button keinerlei Wirkung (nicht einmal das Menü mit dem Button verschwindet). Getestet mit Google Chrome 72.0.3626.121.

• (2017-12-12) John Berlin: Awesome extension to quickly create a WARC file of any webpage
• (2015-03-22) Panos Diakakis: Software is needed to replay the WARCs by nature of the format. I recommend using Web Archiving Integration Layer (WAIL), a software suite that came about because of WARCreate.

• (2021-10-18, v:0.2021.6.28) Uwe Abdulhag: Using the extention in android (chrome based kiwi browser)
  It seems that the UI components for using the extension are missing in the android version, an alternative UI button/component might allow to use this on mobile devices too!

  I want to create WARC files from .html files that are stored locally on my computer. Clicking Generate WARC doesn't seem to do anything. Help?
• (2019-03-09, v:0.2019.1.19 build 612) Stefan Quandt: "Generate WARC" has no effect
  On most pages I tried to archive (e.g. plus.google.com, www.slashdot.org, chrome.google.com/webstore/search/warcreate, https://www.nytimes.com, www.reichelt.de, www.zeit.de), the "Generate WARC" button has no effect at all (the menu containing the button does not even disappear after being clicke). I.e. in most cases no WARC file will be created in my Downloads folder and no error message is shown. Is there any chance that this will work in the near-term for pages on plus.google.com (the whole site will be shutdown soon)?
• (2017-07-09, v:0.2017.6.6 build 2126) Mohammad Aftab Uddin: Takes time
  Seems like it takes time to understand the page based on the contents. It would have been great if we could show a busy indicator next to the button with some progress messages about what's going on. Depending on the site, it takes a good deal of time for Facebook posts.

  Hello, I am trying to archive a post on Facebook with its comments. When I click Generate, nothing happens. What should I do?

  Was not able to download. I use Windows 8, don't know if that might cause a problem, but I shouldn't think it would.
