So I built Pooch PDF — a Chrome extension that extracts the article content, strips the clutter, and saves a clean PDF to Google Drive in one click. Searchable metadata, structured filenames, accessible on any device.
Three modes: - Quick PDF: faithful page capture - Clean PDF: reader-mode extraction (strips ads, navbars, cookie banners, sidebars) - Save to Drive: either mode → PDF → Google Drive with smart filename and AI-generated abstract
Everything runs client-side. No article content leaves the browser. Google Drive scope is drive.file (narrowest — can only see files the extension created).
Free tier: unlimited local PDFs, 60 Drive saves per 60-day cycle. Pro: $3/60 days.

Happy to answer questions about the architecture, MV3 pain points, or Chrome Web Store review process.
