(August 31st, 2021)
Google has forced an "upgrade" to all site owners that has removed countless features and customization options. Along with that was the complete removal of support for tables, a basic feature of any website, meaning the guides cannot be displayed anymore since tables were so commonly used to organize information. I put together a downloadable HTML version of the website so that you can view the pages in your browser, offline. This has some major advantages over a traditional website experience because it will be much faster, with no loading after it's saved locally on your device. It will also have a larger viewing area and it will adjust with various mobile devices better too.
