I’ve been using that Google extension scans text from a webpage for a while too, and yeah, it’s hit or miss. I think it depends on how the site is coded.
One thing that helped me was disabling ad blockers or other extensions while using it. Sometimes they interfere with how the page loads, and the extension misses stuff.
If you’re looking for alternatives, SingleFile is great for saving entire pages as HTML, and then you can extract text from there. It’s a bit of a workaround, but it’s saved me a ton of frustration.
