Patty Arnó Tirado (ID: 0000004f994cc806) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/14/2024 I don't have a clue of how this app got installed in my browser as I am the only user, but I just got home and as soon as I opened chrome, got the "print friendly extension has been installed" tab/message out of the blue. No my computer is not hacked, no I didn't install it by accident.

Cody Smith (ID: 000000c3a84c6744) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/05/2023 So intuitive, user-friendly, and helpful. Has great smart defaults. Nearly plug and play and super easy to use. It's amazing this is free. Thank you so much for this!

Robin Lee (ID: 000000aac5352925) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/28/2023 PrintFriendly version 3.4.6 doesn't work as well as before. It used to be that clicking on "Download Your PDF" would create a PDF with a filename same as the article title, with the last download location already selected. But since Oct 27, 2023, "Download Your PDF" will open a separate tab in the browser with a PDF named something like "pdf_string of numbersLetter.pdf", which requires it to be renamed and saved to a chosen location. So version 3.4.6 requires more steps to save a PDF.
