## Description

tbl2csv, also known as Table to CSV, exports HTML tables as CSV for easy processing in spreadsheet apps. Use the toolbar button to highlight exportable elements, then right-click in an exportable area to open the context menu. The context menu includes a 'Table to CSV' submenu with entries for HTML and Text export.

Inputs required are the table element and the chosen export mode. Permissions include 'menus' (to add the context menu entry) and 'activeTab' (to inject the content script). This lightweight extension complements Excel, LibreOffice Calc, and GNumeric for quick data extraction.

## Review summary

Table to CSV is generally reliable and easy to use, and many users report it speeds up data extraction and enables quick datasets for data science. However, its reliability is not universal; some users see it fail on certain pages. The workflow can be confusing, requiring you to activate it on the page first and navigate two export modes whose differences aren’t always clear. Table detection can also emit multiple files that must be merged manually, and in some cases HTML export options are limited to CSV only. Overall, useful with caveats.

### Pros

- Generally reliable and works as expected on many pages.
- Saves time by speeding up data extraction and reducing manual work.
- Easy and straightforward to use.
- Useful for obtaining quick datasets for data science tasks.

### Cons

- Not reliable on every page; some reviews report it does not work at all.
- Workflow can be confusing: you must run the extension on the page first and export mode differences are unclear.
- Table detection can be poor, exporting data cells, row names, and column names into separate files requiring manual merging.
- Limited export options in some cases (exports CSV only, not the simplest HTML).
