This is a Firefox and Google Chrome extension to clip websites and download them into a readable markdown file.
It uses the following libraries:
- Readability.js by Mozilla in version from commit 52ab9b5c8916c306a47b2119270dcdabebf9d203. This library is also used for the Firefox Reader View and it simplifies the page so that only the important parts are clipped. (Licensed under Apache License Version 2.0)
