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

Honestly, I feel you. The Google extension scans text from a webpage, but it’s like it has a mind of its own lol. I’ve noticed it struggles with pages that have a lot of JavaScript or lazy loading.

Have you tried Web Scraper? It’s a bit more manual, but you can customize what you want to extract, and it works better with complex sites. It’s not as quick, but it’s more accurate for me.

Also, for text in images, OCR tools like Online OCR or Tesseract.js might help, but they’re separate from extensions.
