CSS-Tricks/The-Printliminator

The Printliminator is a simple tool you can use to make websites print better. One click to activate, and then click to remove elements from the page, remove graphics, and apply better print styling.

Get the:

• Bookmarklet
• Chrome Extension
• Opera Extension

Limitations

• Bookmarklet: due to Content Security Policy directives on some sites, the Printliminator bookmarklet script is not able to load on some sites (e.g. GitHub). To get around this problem, use the Chrome or Opera extension. Hopefully, Firefox & Safari extensions/addons will quickly follow.
• Chrome/Opera extension: if a popup window is opened for printing, like Yahoo mail does, then the extension will not work in the popup. An issue was submitted and it sounds like they will be providing a fix.

To Do

• Support more languages: waiting for willing users to help!
• Create Firefox & Safari extensions.
