There's a great extension for Firefox (and I'm sure equivalents exist for all |
| 11 |
browsers supporting extensions) allowing you to cherry-pick and remove all |
| 12 |
"dirty" content (advertisements, multimedia, silly CSS, etc.) before printing. I |
| 13 |
have used [1] for quite a while now, and it's proving excellent. It also |
| 14 |
supports saving to a PDF or HTML file, which is a nice-to-have considering I |
| 15 |
prefer printing to a physical device via lpr. |

There are quite a few other extensions which perform very similar functions, |
| 18 |
although watch out for ones that send the site to an external service for |
| 19 |
cherry-picking, such as [2]. |
