Any tab I try to save results in the same error shown in the title. When I switch away from saving the captured data as "Folder" it just saves a file with no proper format that I can't open aside from the .htz option (see image below). I attempted to reset all options to default but the error persists.

1. Please try using a clean new browser user/profile with only WSB extension installed, and see if the issue persists.

2. As already mentioned in the doc wiki, script files are highly likely be blocked by a Chromium-based browser and have to be manually confirmed in the download manager for each file to be downloaded. To avoid this issue, do not save scripts, or capture as an archive file, or setup the backend server, or use another browser.
