## Review summary

WebToPDF is appreciated for effectively converting web pages to PDFs, often maintaining the page's formatting and serving as a reliable alternative to other extensions. However, users report issues with the add-on not preserving styles consistently, difficulties on Mac where the .pdf suffix isn't added automatically, and a major concern where an update causes new tab hijacking through unwanted redirects. These widespread issues affect user trust despite the otherwise useful functionality.

### Pros

- Converts web pages to PDF, sometimes perfectly preserving the original formatting.
- Works well for saving pages as PDF, fulfilling its primary purpose.
- Good alternative to other PDF extension add-ons, responding as expected.

### Cons

- Does not always keep web styles, leading to PDFs that look different from the original web page.
- On Mac systems, the add-on fails to automatically add the '.pdf' suffix to saved files, causing inconvenience.
- After an update, the add-on hijacks new tabs by redirecting to an unwanted search page (https://search.socialdownloadr.com).
