Does the Google extension that scans text from a webpage work reliably for extracting content?

Yeah, I’ve had the same issue with that Google extension scans text from a webpage. It’s super inconsistent, especially with dynamic content or pages that load stuff after you scroll.

I switched to a tool called Copyfish—it’s a Chrome extension too, but it handles images and embedded text way better. It’s not perfect, but it’s been more reliable for me. Maybe give it a shot?

Also, if the page has weird formatting, sometimes opening it in “reader mode” (if your browser has it) helps clean things up before using the extension.
