This has stopped working properly. Seem to hit a limit on WhatsAppWeb regarding how many messages it will show .. if it doesn't show them this won't download them.

Scaling for viewing in mobile browser?
The extension seems to work pretty well but I wish the generated HTML would scale better when viewed in a mobile browser, to have similar size as when viewing the chat in WhatsApp. If I open the saved HTML on my phone I need a magnifying glass to read the chats.

Every time I click the extension it demands a licence code. After successfull verification, nothing happens. The message I found says: "DevTools failed to load source map: Could not load content for chrome-extension://gmbicfpadlmgkfhfepknbmemfhahelll/css/bootstrap.css.map: System error: net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND"

This worked brilliantly, but note that it no longer works if you're in the WhatsApp Web Beta, as there is a limit to how far back the chat will go. Not sure if it'll be possible for there to be a workaround for this, alas. However, still seems to work fine when not opted in.

Did not work. I tried getting messages from Apr 2020 to Apr 2022, but it only got from Jan 2022 to Apr 2022 - about 15000 messages which is way worse than whatsapp own limit of 40000.

Waste of money
