User reviews
Does a good job of cleaning the page and allowing you to print or download, however, it leaves ugly watermarks that are more like ad bumps in the pdf. There are other free options out there that do not do this.

Samuele gg, 2022-04-18Great neat layout! I like the night mode contrast!
Works with my Auto Copy extension!
It doesn't toggle images, and it's tough to know which ones will get through, and it also doesn't have many fancy options, but the extension cuts through junk far better than most, and I've tried a lot of the competition.
It's a Winner!
4/23/22 One request though, for pages that it don't work, please lose that cutesy dangling image.
5/29/22 I notice my Chrome locks if I use it w/ TheAtlantic.com, but my pc isn't very up-to-date & there may be other conflicts.
8/29/23 Exports to .pdf and OneNote .. no extension update since June 2019
