  Benefits of Installation

  1. Streamlined information gathering — No more tedious copy-pasting and manual formatting. Get ready-to-use Markdown with a single click
  2. Clean, noise-free output — The Readability engine extracts only the main text, automatically removing unnecessary elements like ads, navigation bars, and footers
