Clean Web Clipper

About Clean Web Clipper: who makes it and why

Clean Web Clipper is made by lessroutinemorelife.com, a family of small tools for chores a computer should have been doing all along. The idea fits in one line: save a web page as Markdown you do not have to clean up.

Why does Clean Web Clipper exist?

Clippers are rarely criticised for failing to convert HTML. People complain that they stop working, demand an account, or leave the note full of menus. Clean Web Clipper is built against those three: it runs without an account, it answers “no article” rather than saving a menu, and its extraction core is covered by checks, most of them written after a real lost clip.

Each step it takes inside the page is described on how the extraction works.

How was it tested?

On 512 pages from the most-visited sites, in two runs on 30 and 31 August 2026: 109 of them head-to-head against Defuddle 0.19.3, Mozilla Readability 0.6.0 and MarkSnip 5.2.0, and 403 from twelve European countries through our core alone. There were no crashes and no leftover HTML tags; on the 109 pages the extension left 102 duplicated menu lines against 282–491 for the others.

The numbers, the dates and where it is behind are on the benchmark page.
