Chrome Save-As webpage-complete times out, Firefox saves instantly
I am trying to save a web page I am viewing in Chrome using CtrlS (Save As) and using the default "webpage complete" option.
I can view the web page perfectly fine in the browser.
However, the save operation runs at an absolute crawl and doesn't ever complete, and often times out.
When I do the exact same operation in Firefox the save happens instantaneously.
I tried looking at the Network tab in Chrome Developer Tools, but nothing appeared when I started the save operation, which is even more puzzling to me.
I am not running an ad-blocker, as the site has ad-blocker detection and won't function with ad-blocking enabled.
- What is happening here?
- Could some javascript "anti-save" script be the cause?
- How can I save the webpage in Chrome?

Both saving to the same directory? Not a permissions problem or anything?

No differences in destination filename, so not a permissions issue, no.
