MikeStutzzzz 0 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Is it possible to clip a page when in Firefox Reader View. The normal web clipper works great 80% of the time only giving me the info I want but some articles have adds in the middle of the page and the clipper copys that as well while in Firefox reader view it eliminates all of that but I am unable to clip the page thoughts?

Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted September 2, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted September 2, 2017 Hi. Have you tried clipping 'simplified article'? That should strip out lots of ad content... (desktops only) Link to comment
chipqvist 15 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Evernote's simplified clipping saves only text but I save a lot of articles where the diagrams and graphs are just as important. Firefox Reader View somehow understands which images to keep, usually producing the view that I would really like to save. But Evernote's clipper can't save it, due to "browser restrictions," according to a clipper popup. Can this be fixed? Link to comment

Firefox has its own built-in screen grabber plus add-ons like Nimbus Clipper which you could try. Firefox 'system' views like Add-in windows and-apparently- this reader view are restricted for reasons best know to Firefox. I wouldn't have thought that would be something that Evernote can change... Link to comment

It looks pretty handy but unfortunately, it doesn't run on newer Firefox versions -- I'm hoping Nimbus will do an update soon. Link to comment

Huh, I clicked the firefox link here, and it says "This add-on is not compatible with your version of Firefox." Same version of FF as you. Link to comment

Same version of FF as you. You're right - that option says the same for me. However have a look at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nimbus-screenshot/ I didn't realise that there were two apps! Link to comment
chipqvist 15 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Crazy! Your link works for me too. I'm optimistic that Nimbus will do pretty much what I want, so hey, thanks a lot! Link to comment
