## Review summary

The addon is valued for reliably saving pages as PDFs with a simple, no-frills approach. It excels in ease of use and even supports readability mode. However, it lacks customization (no margins/print options), often produces plain or visually lacking PDFs (missing backgrounds and hyperlinks, occasional blank pages), and can be hard to notice in the context menu due to the missing icon.

### Pros

- Works reliably as advertised
- Simple and easy to use
- Lightweight with no need for complex settings
- Effective in readability mode / works in improved readability mode

### Cons

- No settings to adjust margins or other print/layout options
- PDFs often miss background colors/images and page structure, and may include blank pages or lose hyperlinks
- Context menu icon is missing or not easily discoverable, making it hard to find
- Output quality can be inconsistent and look unfriendly
