Solution 1

Viewing and creating MHTML files in current versions of Google Chrome is supported by toggling the "Save Page as MHTML" option on the chrome://flags page.

However, enabling this experimental option disables saving pages as HTML-only or HTML Complete files. From the chrome://flags page:

Save Page as MHTML Mac, Windows, Linux
Disables saving pages as HTML-only or HTML Complete; enables saving pages only as MHTML: a single text file containing HTML and all sub-resources.

Solution 2

You can save it as MHTML file by using "SAVE AS MHTML" extension available in chrome web store which will capture the entire site to a compressed file.

Supported by Firefox, Internet Explorer and Chrome.

Solution 3

Starting June 2019, the Save Page as MHTML flag has been removed from Chrome. A solution that still works (for now?) is adding the --save-page-as-mhtml argument to Chrome's command line.

How do you save a web page as .mht in Chrome?

I have Chromium 18. It's supposed to be possible but I can't figure out how...

I can't find such an extension. Can you give us the link?

This is actually brilliant - nothing before have I found to work on saving complex gmail inbox web pages - this does it, which I find quite incredible! Before that, the best method I found, oddly, was Opera (pre-chromium!) for saving complex webpages with all objects and dependencies in tact. MIND YOU this plugin does take a while to save a page (at least the complex gmail inbox home page I tried) - AND it only worked by saving in IE, then opening in IE - but boy is it worth it if you have an important complex page to archive with FULL formatting in tact!

Also FireFox has an extension for saviong in MHT: UNMHT - in case someone is interested in.

I wonder how these options are ordered, and if we can change this order... Now I have "Webpage, Single file" (mhtml extension/format) as default, which is a nuisance because actually we most often use "Webpage, HTML only" option.

Works with vivaldi://flags too! Moreover, one can chose the file name and where to save it. I only miss the extra line with a link to the original URL at the bottom of the page. I have grown accustomed to this with the UnMHT Firefox extension.

This is false information. I save to MHTML using Chrome and have been a long time. It creates a single file no different then Firefox or IE.
