Extension summary

PageChopper is my attempt to recreate an old extension called Aardvark that allowed the user to remove elements from the current web page in order to make it better for printing. You move your mouse pointer over an item and press a key (for example 'r' to remove the item). A list of the command keys is displayed whenever you activate the extension. You may remove items, isolate an item (i.e. remove all other items), convert the page to black and white, remove all images, or remove extra whitespace. You may undo any of your changes.

User reviews

Please add "w" and "n" command of Aardvark. They are very important. Thank you.

It brings back some of the functions of Aardvark, but not all of them. It also seems a bit clunky compared to Aardvark. It shows potential, but needs some work.
