Defuddle: A Powerful Webpage Content Cleaner
2025-05-22
Defuddle is a robust tool for cleaning up webpage content. It removes unnecessary elements like comments, sidebars, headers, footers, and other clutter, leaving only the core content and generating clean, readable HTML documents. It handles various formats including footnotes, math equations, and code blocks, and extracts metadata such as schema.org data. Defuddle works well with Obsidian Web Clipper and serves as an alternative to Mozilla Readability. It's available as a browser version and a Node.js version, the latter supporting Markdown conversion.
