Turn any webpage into tidy Markdown with a single click or the Alt+M shortcut. Under the hood, the extension uses Mozilla’s Readability library to strip out scripts, ads, navigation bars and other clutter, isolating the main text. You end up with headings, lists and paragraphs preserved in a clean, hierarchical format ready for copy-paste or download as a .md file. A dedicated preview tab shows the result and offers toggles for images, links, metadata and source URL. You can also generate a document map or copy the output as an AI prompt.
Markdown output slashes token usage compared to raw HTML. That makes it easier for large language models to parse, summarize or answer questions without drowning in boilerplate. Since the extension relies on Turndown for HTML-to-Markdown conversion, the result stays faithful to the original structure but drops deeply nested DOMs that confuse extraction pipelines. You get more of the main content in far fewer bytes—and models deliver better reasoning when they see clear headers and list items instead of random scripts and ads.
