I often have trouble with pages I've clipped, when I want to remove extraneous material. I realize this is a hard problem. I like the "simplified article" feature, but often I can't get it to line up with the actual article--there's either too much or too little. Then I have to clip the entire article or the entire page, which has too much stuff on it. And then when I try to edit the clipping to cut out that stuff it often behaves in very strange ways, not letting me insert or delete portions (e.g., if I try to cut the blurb for an ad between paragraphs, and preserve the formatting of the following paragraph, or if I try to delete the ads in the sidebar).
It's really frustrating when you have something you want to delete and you can't highlight it, or you can highlight it but it doesn't delete. Or when you highlight and delete it and wind up radically changing the layout and font of the page. Even just being able to see and edit the HTML would be helpful.
