Firefox, Printer-Hostile Web Pages, NVU, ...

NVU Screenshot One thing that I missed when I converted to Firefox from Mozilla is Mozilla Composer. I used Mozilla Composer all the time to deal with printer-hostile web pages.

Then I heard Brendan Eich interviewed on IT Conversations, in which he mentioned NVU---an open source standalone HTML editor/Web Authoring System that is going to be the successor to Mozilla Composer.

It is still under development by Linspire (Lindows). I downloaded NVU 0.50 for both Windows and Linux. It looks and feels very much like Mozilla Composer. And for my purpose, it does a wonderful job, just as Mozilla Composer.

If you use MS Outlook, you can also cut/paste content into an empty email and do reformatting there too. I do that all the time to combine multi page html docs (especially ones loaded with advertisements) into a single, stripped down printout. You can fix various other formatting issues with unfriendly pages using this trick.
