Enable Save As MHTML in chrome

MHTML or MHT is the short form of the term MIME MHTML file type which is a web page archive format that can combine a web page and its elements such as JS, CSS, images, etc. into a single file. In Chrome, we don’t have option to save a page in MHTML format, rather it has option to save pages in HTML format. The problem with this HTML options in Chrome is, when you save a complete page as HTML, it saves basic part as *.html file and a folder to store other components of the page.
Thus, you are not saving a single file when saving a single page. You need to keep the both folder and html file to open the page properly on any browser or you need internet connection to fully load the page without component folder. In this case, single file MHTML comes in handy as it will keep all necessary files inside it. How to enable Save As MHTML in chrome On the chrome address bar, type "chrome://flags" without quotes and hit enter. On page load, bring up the search box (Ctrl+F on Windows and Command+F on Mac) and start typing "mhtml" - without quotes too. Find the option as shown and if the current value is "Enable", click it and relaunch chrome


PS: Mine is already enabled :-p
