• data URI scheme is supported by the following web browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Konqueror and Internet Explorer 8 (limited support : data URIs must be smaller than 32 KB)
• SVG images are supported (SVG document is converted into utf-8 but is not processed)

• frames or SVG images without src attribute or with empty src attribute value are not embedded
• SingleFile does not always work when javascript is blocked by chrome (see "content settings/Javascript" tab in chrome options)

If you find an unknown issue (i.e. frozen process, extra saved files, blank or altered document, tab crash...) :

• test with only remove frames, remove scripts and remove objects enabled in options page
• disable all other extensions to see if there is a conflict
• if there is a conflict, try to determine against which extension(s)
• report the issue here with a short description, URL(s), chrome version, OS version
