Luc Godfroid (ID: 000000767ed9a730) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/17/2021 Hello, C'est une extension (assez ancienne) très simple, sans options mais qui fonctionne bien et utile pour récupérer une page sans image, en texte non formaté. Sur Facebook elle vous affichera une partie suivant l'état de la barre de défilement. Pour revenir à l'affichage normal de la page, réactuallisez-la. Merci. EDGE : Version 90.0.818.41 (Version officielle - 64 bits).
