Tip for a better use of browser's print to PDF feature: use an ad blocker (uBlock Origin in Chrome works fine) to remove noisy html elements, ads and clutter. I basically cut everything but text, even navigation elements. And this btw is where Chrome comes handy for (e.g.) Firefox users: you can browse and print separately. You always have a ready-to-print setup in Chrome (or else) while browsing somewhere else.
I haven't yet looked into another promising feature though, which is (if I'm not mistaken) the availability of a CLI for this . Would be very interested to automate the process, but am concerned about whether the element blocking will work.
Ideally I'd like to be able to save printed pages either automatically or via bulk selection (within my browser history) to Evernote or anything like (it seems to be the best solution for me, as it has a great indexing, fuzzy search and relevance, plus the fact that the storage is not limited unless I start to upload more than 10 GB per month which is unlikely).
Anyway, would be glad to hear if anyone came up with a similar or a better solution.
