Latest version
Version 3.0.13
Released Oct 11, 2019 - 71.71 KBWorks with firefox 57.0 and later, android 57.0 and later* Fixed problem with TITLE/HEAD elements being removed because their
default css property of display is "none". This causes a problem
when saving a link for offline reading -- saved article shows up
with a blank name
* Fixed logic for replacing using the contents of the ARTICLE tag as
proxy for the entire content of the page. The original solution of
replacing just the parent was not sufficient to remove a lot of other
crud. Now, we replace the entire body of the page with the article
tag contentsSource code released under GNU General Public License, version 3.0

Version 3.0.12
Released Sep 30, 2019 - 71.44 KBWorks with firefox 57.0 and later, android 57.0 and later* Attempt to remove all event handlers in the original page to prevent
them from modifying the processed page
* Fix to handle pages that have windows-1252 encoding
* Ignore links like "mail:" that need not be processed by the addon
and which caused the addon to freeze while processing pages with such links
* More aggressive removal of hidden elements
this can cause more images to be removed in the processed view
* Removal of links with onclick events/javascript since they are often
associated with social media forwarding links/images and clutter the
processed page

Version 3.0.9

being removed. Added support for images. Currently, more images
than necessary are retained (including some pesky icons) but
