This change is a significant reduction in functionality. In the past, when WebClipper would have a bit of trouble clipping a complex page (typically with images) I could simply visit the note, delete the garbled image, and then paste in the correct image.
Now I can't. Some observations:
Before I could simply select text and copy. Very useful for programming notes where I want to take code from an article and incorporate into a programming language editor. Now this is multi-step (if it works).
The "simplify and make editable" function garbles stuff even worse in the situations where WebClipper has a bit of trouble.
Don't know if you have Medium access but try clipping this using "Article" in WebClipper: https://towardsdatascience.com/neural-networks-are-fundamentally-bayesian-bee9a172fad8 And BTW "Simplified article" screws up a lot of the images from this Medium post so I couldn't use it.
As you scroll down thru the clip when it gets to Evernote, some of the images are wacko - almost like they are magnified and out of focus. Using "simplify and make editable" makes this way worse - now there are more giant out of focus images, and worse yet, there are a bunch that are tiny clips with spinning circles on them. Try to copy and you get tiny tiny images. Useless.
So consider this a request to revert (somehow) to the old functionality. Or invest some serious work in "simplify and make editable" to fix a lot of bugs. Perhaps I should try gathering up some of these problems and submit them as issues.
