Page Sources

Page Sources

Page Sources is an optional in-page panel for inspecting and saving resources discovered on the current page.

Open and position the panel

Use the toolbar action, the Page Sources context-menu toggle, or the configurable browser command. The suggested shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+G (Command+Shift+G on macOS). The panel's open state persists across tabs.

Cycle the alignment control to place the panel on the right, bottom, left, or top. Resize it by dragging its edge. Opening and closing use a short transition, and the panel uses an isolated high stacking layer to avoid most page content.

Choose a panel theme

Open Advanced → Appearance → Theme to choose how Save In is colored:

• System follows the operating-system light or dark preference.
• Dark always uses the panel's dark palette.
• Light always uses the panel's light palette.

The override applies to the Save In options and reference pages as well as Page Sources. It does not change the current website. An open panel and the options page update immediately when the setting changes.

What it finds

Depending on options, the panel includes:

• Images and image links
• Audio and video URLs
• Documents such as PDFs
• Ordinary links
• CSS background images
• Resource hints and dynamically detected sources

Some media players expose only a blob: URL, encrypted media, or a manifest assembled by page scripts. Save In cannot always recover a standalone file URL. HLS/DASH manifests may be shown as media-like sources; where appropriate, entries can provide a copyable yt-dlp command rather than pretending the manifest is the final video file.

Working with results

• Filter by URL, name, or visible metadata.
• Use type facets and their counts to narrow results.
• Sort by available size, detection time, or other displayed fields.
• Hover images/media for a larger HTML preview; media previews autoplay muted.
• Hover a located resource to outline its page element when one can be identified.
• Alt-click an entry for direct saving.
• Right-click an entry to use the normal Save In destination menu.
• Copy one URL or all URLs in the current filtered result set.

Save a selection

Use each result's checkbox or Select filtered to build a batch. Selections remain active when filters change, and the selection bar reports sources hidden by the current filter. Save selected submits the downloads one at a time; a batch larger than 20 sources asks for confirmation. Requests Save In rejects remain selected for retry. The started count means Save In accepted those requests, while completion and failures appear later in History.

Create an automatic rule

Open a result's More actions menu and choose Create automatic rule. Save In opens Routing rules with a disabled draft scoped to the page root domain, source root domain, and source kind. Review the destination, enable the rule, and select Apply. Drafts are not created from private tabs because the draft would otherwise persist private browsing data.

Use context: auto with page and source conditions to match automatic downloads. The first matching rule sets the save location. Ordinary routing rules without an explicit automatic context are ignored during unattended discovery. The master switch, live/private controls, and per-page maximum remain under Options → Page Sources → Automatically save page sources.

File size is best-effort. Many servers omit Content-Length, reject HEAD requests, use compression/ranges, or generate content dynamically.

Privacy and performance

Discovery runs locally in the tab and extension. Live scanning can observe newly added page elements and network-visible resources, but Save In does not request webRequest. Disable source categories or live discovery in options if a page is unusually large or dynamic.
