Looks like this was fixed in commit https://github.com/dteviot/WebToEpub/commit/43f123be20df0bb61bafb4bc809a4aa60b9fc0d5. This code is currently in the test version, but has not yet been updated to Chrome or Firefox stores.

Test versions for Firefox and Chrome have been uploaded to https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1B_X2WcsaI_eg9yA-5bHJb8VeTZGKExl8?usp=sharing. Pick the one suitable for you, follow the "How to install from Source (for people who are not developers)" instructions at https://github.com/dteviot/WebToEpub/tree/ExperimentalTabMode#user-content-how-to-install-from-source-for-people-who-are-not-developers and let me know how it goes.
