## Review summary

Users praise Print Edit WE for its simplicity, ability to edit/strip page elements, select specific content, and prepare clearer prints (especially from messy emails). Repeated complaints concern compatibility with some Firefox versions, export/save failures (including empty PDFs and broken HTML save), occasional non‑persisting edits, and a somewhat unclear interface lacking tooltips or a tutorial.

### Pros

- Simple, easy to use with a well‑designed UI.
- Allows editing/stripping of HTML elements before printing (including adjusting page breaks).
- Can select specific parts of a page to print/save so only required content is kept.
- Useful for cleaning messy emails or pages for clearer printing/saving without reloading the page.

### Cons

- Compatibility problems on some Firefox versions (elements scrambled, not selectable).
- Saving/export failures reported (zero‑byte empty PDFs, and saving as HTML may fail).
- Edits sometimes don’t persist; graphics or unwanted elements may still appear in the output.
- Interface can be ambiguous or unintuitive and lacks obvious tooltips or a short tutorial.
