I installed the "Webrecorder ArchiveWeb.page" Chrome extension and wanted to "record" (whatever that means, my assumption/hope is to make a working copy) a fancy interactive JavaScript website.

But when I visit that website, then select "Start Recording" from the Webrecorder Chrome extension, after a couple of requests, that Chrome tab will "crash" and show the "dead Tab" icon and inform me about "Error Code: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION".

Heading over to https://archiveweb.page/guide :

> Help! I have an error! > See the common errors [https://archiveweb.page/troubleshooting/errors] to see if your issue is listed there, or contact us [https://archiveweb.page/contact] if it is not.

https://archiveweb.page/troubleshooting/errors -> 404 Page not found

Therefore https://archiveweb.page/contact -> 404 Page not found

Rebooting my computer and restarting Chrome did not solve the issue. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you have other extensions, disable all of them before trying to record. Content from other extensions can't be accessed due to recent security changes in Chromium, and can cause that error. We'll add it to the Common Errors Page and fix the links. Thanks!

This is actually an issue with their docs that I encountered a few weeks ago when I was first experimenting with this tool. They apparently added a Spanish-language version of the docs, including an associated extra directory tree in the URL, but they failed to set up redirects or even update the existing links in the documentation.

So those two pages are actually located at https://archiveweb.page/en/troubleshooting/errors/ and https://archiveweb.page/en/contact/ respectively.

It looks like their docs site is open source at https://github.com/webrecorder/archiveweb.page-site, so I may try and send a pull request later today to go ahead and correct those links.

Whats the url, maybe we can help.

Thank you for following up. Is there a way to DM you? The URL I'm having problems with archiving is sort of sensitive.
