@steve-kennedy thanks! I've incorporated that tweak.

@jaredduggan I actually tried the reader view on brave first. Unfortunately it seems to do something to the dom that makes the scraping function not work properly, but I admit I didn't look too deeply into it, will take another crack at doing something with reader view

@rynomad, you may find the Readability library useful to check out (https://github.com/mozilla/readability). It's a standalone version of the library used in the Firefox reader view.

Hi @rynomad, wanted to let you know I made a slight modification to your bookmarklet to create a tool to help with chunking articles for summary purposes. Thanks for the inspiration and jumping off point!
