Works great doing a very useful task. Google is changing Chrome to make it harder to block ads. Though EpubPress has nothing to do with ad blocking it may soon stop working due to these changes. I hope not.

Nearly perfect extension! However, I noticed the following warning on modern web pages: “Heads up! This page uses features your browser doesn’t support. Try a modern browser like Firefox or Chrome for the best experience.” It would also be great if the extension could fetch the title from the metadata, or if the extension's popup could stay in the foreground to easily copy and paste them.

This is a wonderful extension to get text from multiple web pages into a single epub
