What did you expect to happen? What happened instead?

Description:
When using the extension to save pages from web.archive.org, I'm encountering several issues:

  1. Partial Saves: Only the initially loaded pages are saved.

  2. Blank Page Rendering:

    • When viewing saved pages through the extension's interface, the content briefly appears before turning completely blank.

  • Even when bypassing the iframe to view saved pages directly, images fail to display despite being present in the WACZ file. The image displays correctly when opened in a new tab.
