printfriendly.com
Strips ads and navigation off a page so you can print or save it as a PDF.
Paste a URL and it re-renders the page as an article, then lets you click any leftover block — a related-posts strip, a stray sidebar, an image — to delete it before you print or export to PDF. That manual control is the difference from a browser reader view: it copes with recipe sites and news pages where automatic extraction gives up. Text can be edited and font size changed before export.
Questions
Works the moment the page loads. No account, no email, no trial. There is no automatic article-only mode — on a cluttered page you delete every unwanted block by hand.
Yes. PrintFriendly sends your input to its own servers to process it. That is fine for public material; for anything containing personal data, use one of the on-device tools instead.
