Printing Web Pages without the Adverts

Q. When I print pages from websites I quite often end up with lots of material that I don't want, such as advertisments and so on. Is there any simple way to get over this problem.

A. There are a few options, depending on the browser that you're using.

In Chrome, the tool that does this best is called 'Clearly' and you can get it at http://bit.ly/philbclearly .

Readability is also a good option and you can find it at https://www.readability.com .

Both will cut out the nonsense, giving clear and clean pages to read or print.
