  The extension finds the main text block (main, article, content) and extracts only that, skipping navigation, sidebars, and banners. Two buttons: "Copy as text" — clean text for pasting anywhere; "Copy as Markdown" — formatted output with headings (# ## ###), bold and italic, links text, lists, tables, and code blocks. Handy for notes, reposts, and exporting to editors or docs. No data is sent anywhere; everything runs in the tab on click.
