Show HN: I made a tool to clean and convert any webpage to Markdown
Thoroughly scraping is challenging, especially in an environment where you donāt have (or want) a JavaScript runtime.
For content extraction, I found the approach the Postlight library takes quite neat. It scores individual html nodes based on some heuristics (text length, link density, css classes). It the selects the nodes with the highest score. [1] I ported it to Swift for a personal read later app.

Trouble Building Chrome Extension to Get News Article Content
I've been working on an enhanced reader mode extension for the last few months. I found that Mercury Reader's parser tool is useful for extracting content. If that's not exactly what you're looking for, readibility is another good option. It's a library used inside Firefox's reader moder that you can use in any project.

What Are The Coolest Virtual Machines You Currently Run 24/7?
I currently have it turned off while I search for better sources, but I have a VM that runs a custom cron script that combines a custom RSS reader, podfox, mercury-parser, and coqui-ai to generate audio podcasts from RSS news feeds. I should probably clean it up and release the script/setup process. With a few tweaks and some AI text-to-speech and a little machine learning audio processing you can get a really good podcast experience from text posts.

Extracting Text button no longer works
It looks like Relay could be updated to convert it locally though, since the parser that it uses appears to be open source.

API for getting news fulltext
An alternative would be to extract the plain text from the article's page with either some "readability" API or a library like Mercury Parser: https://github.com/postlight/mercury-parser

How does Firefox's Reader View work?
I havenāt directly compared them, but I have also found mercury parser (https://github.com/postlight/mercury-parser) to be very reliable.
Since it turns a website into very plain (X)HTML itās fairly easy to use it to make a browsing proxy or automatically produce epub files for e-readers, which is what I do.

Build your self-hosted Evernote
Make sure that at the end of the process you have the node and npm executables installed - the http.webpage integration uses the Mercury Parser API to convert web pages to Markdown.

Reading from the web offline and distraction-free
Good luck! Those HTML issues you're coming across are tough and so varied across the web!
I was working with Mercury Parser (pluggable parsing for different sites) in the past.

How do I enabled right click menu and developer console on a site that disabled it?
I use Just Read extension for rendering webpages in reading mode. In reading mode, you can right-click and copy everything on this site (or any site) one by one or all together.

software or browser extension to reformat text?
Apologies if I misunderstood your needs, but I have used this readability extension on computers and it helped my focus and engagement. I did the premium to keep support the dev. Free version is there too. Good luck!! https://justread.link/ (It reminds me of the old āinstapaperā reader.)

Pa. commission proposes adding and increasing fees, axing gas tax to fund transportation needs.
You should try out Just Read, it "makes it easy to view web articles in a more readable, attractive, and custom format - like a read mode, but better. It removes the distractions like ads, modals, and navigation from vision, letting the user just read the content."

The most underused browser feature
It uses a pretty simple text selection algorithm I've developed through trial and error: https://github.com/ZachSaucier/Just-Read/blob/6dcb4f05b93287...
