Extension summary

Version 1.2.0.1 Notes: Update for Chrome 71.0.3578.98.

Version 1.0.1.9 Notes: Mandatory update to Chrome Extension Manifest version 2.

Version 1.0.1.1 Notes: Chrome 17 has been updated such that the print preview window is no longer presented in a new tab. Now the print preview window opens up in a child window in the current tab. This broke the 'open in New Window' feature.

To compensate for this, the Awesome Print Button version 1.0.1.1 'open in New Window' option now duplicates the selected tab in a new window, and then triggers the Chrome print preview window.

I like it. Moved from the "Print for Google Chrome", which became buggy. This addon is simple, has no issues, really awesome! 😎

"Print Friendly & PDF" muss deaktiviert sein, sonst funktioniert es schonmal gar nicht. Das ergebnis ist etwas besser, aber noch nicht zufrieden stellend. Für meinen Zweck (sreenshot ebay-seite) nicht zu gebrauchen.
