Thanks again for working on this! WORG really needs more care.

FYI, I am using Qutebrowser, which uses qtwebengine (5.15.5) under the
hood. https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.org makes my Qutebrowser
displays download save dialogue.

The .org file is also downloaded using Firefox-100.0. No hanging.

Having a link to .org source in the footer is a good idea. Also, I
recall someone complaining that there is not .pdf version of Org manual.
I guess that similar feature could be useful in WORG.

Best,
