I also found this unrequested or approved web page announcing a new install. According to the change log just above this review you have added a new welcome page as of 2024-03-08. Thanks for raising my blood pressure with a Malware scare. I ran MalwareBytes and it came up clean. The web address of the unwelcome "print friendly is installed" web page https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/printfriendly-print-and-p/ohlencieiipommannpdfcmfdpjjmeolj actually matches the address of the Chrome web store page I am typing this review on. So presumably this new web page announcement is legit. Doing a search It looks as if Google Chrome extension updates are automatically installed. Brave browser (uses Chrome) updates download in the background and require a browser restart to install them. PrintFriendly Extension, your intentions seem good but "aware" computer users hate surprises. My Brave home page tells me it has blocked 3/4 of a million trackers and ads so far. It is not safe out there friends. And it is not getting better. UPDATED 2024-04-16 Adjusted rating to 5. This is still the best tool I have to create a PDF from a web page. The only way to make it better would be to give us some options for the automatic pdf filename - I always add the date ( 2024-04-16 using text expander ) at the front so it sorts correctly ( for me ). I add the URL Domain at the end ( Chromewebstore for example ). If I don't pdf it on the actual publish date I manually type that instead. There is no easy way to automate that although editing the current date to a few days ago is easy. You have a great tool here. Keep up the good work.

Still a great extension (thankyou!) but .. I pdf a lot of Guardian articles and despite me NOT removing the dates on these -- and these Dates still showing in what I send to the Printer -- they are NOT coming out on physical prints. Since I literally print a good lot of these Guardian news articles, this is a big deal, and I am really hoping you can fix it. Thankyou!
