Describe the bug

Saving Washington Post articles hangs for a long time and then there's an error.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to any Washington Post article, e.g. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/03/25/trump-law-firms/
Try to save the page with all the default settings
Processing starts:
The extension hangs at the following for many minutes
A banner error appears: "SingleFile error: A listener indicated an asynchronous response by returning true, but the message channel closed before a response was received"

Expected behavior

Quick processing, as with other websites.

Screenshots

Environment

OS: macOS 14.7.5 23H527 (Sonoma) MacBookPro18,2 (Apple M1 Max, arm64)
Browser: Brave Version 1.77.95 Chromium: 135.0.7049.52 (Official Build) (arm64)
Version: SingleFile v1.2.0

Additional context
Looking at network activity, it seems that SingleFile is downloading a huge number of assets from the website.
