What is required to read / write firmware to Winbond 25q128 8soic flash memory?

Hello

Excuse my lack of knowledge but I need to copy the firmware from a Winbond 25Q128JVSQ flash memory chip.
Manufacturer page:
https://www.winbond.com/hq/product/code-storage-flash-memory/serial-nor-flash/?__locale=en&partNo=W25Q128JV
Data sheet:
https://www.winbond.com/resource-files/W25Q128JV%20RevH%2003102021%20Plus.pdf

I was going to buy a AliExpress CH341a programmer and clip for the 8-pin footprint but wasn't sure if it would work or there is suitable software?
The chip isn't listed on flashrom.com, I can't find a site for Colibri, or what other software is available.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I would recommend the excellent value TL866II
http://autoelectric.cn/EN/TL866_main.html

It lists this device as supported

If this is a one off copy/write operation then a ch340 adapter or ftdi232h would work. if you intend to do more poking about then i would say a bus pirate (does uart,i2c,spi,jtag, swim, SWD and more) ,
the bus pirate has flashrom(to copy spi flash roms like w25q64 etc )  support and can also be used with openocd and other programs for debug and more.
while slow compared to some specific tools its more universal in it's support.
also other way of doing it is any arduino device (check you chip voltages as arm based arduino is normally 3.3v and atmel are 5v )

Just get a $4 CH341A programmer.
NeoProgrammer 2.2.0.8 works great with it.
You can find it in the Hantek Drive of my signature, I'm pretty sure it supports that memory.

Who wrote the NeoProgrammer software and where is their download page?
