## Description

Export any webpage to a clean Markdown file: works very close to what Firefox's Reader View sees, so many many pages will give a clean version, but some of the biggest ones (like New York Times etc.) will not generate proper output.

<strong>Options</strong>
- generate .md file with images in a subfolder
- generate .md file with images embedded in the file as base64 (but will generate quite big files)

Will be saved into your Download folder by default
