Chrome has removed the “Simplify Page” print option

2 points by sosuke ↗ HN
I'm just frustrated with Google Chrome having removed the Simply Page option on print less than a year after they added it. I waited a month before posting here hoping to see someone else mention it. It really is better than all the extensions available. The send to kindle is a good alternative but I've personally downloaded the portable apps version of Chrome with the feature still enabled.

I just wish there were some real way to contact the team and tell them how I enjoyed the feature. Could they open source it, make it an extension.

I always imagine Google as being a bunch of developers like I see online. Talking and sharing. But it really is just another company. No response is the best response.

Thanks, this was a rare venting for me.

It's not your product, it's theirs.
Companies make products for their users or customers.
Companies make products to make money. As the saying goes, if you're not paying them, you're the product.
Agreed. But still companies should strive to make products that either people will use, or that people will buy. The "it's not your product, it's theirs" comment was not a very useful thing to say.
