Print an AliExpress listing, description and all
AliExpress listings used to print with a blank description and dozens of pages of other products. Now you get the listing and nothing else.
Open an AliExpress listing, hit print, and you'd expect the thing you were looking at. Instead you got two surprises. The item description came out blank, just a "Description" heading with nothing under it. And after the product came page after page of other products from the "Related items", "Recommended from" and "More to love" feeds. One listing a customer sent us printed as 98 pages, 80 of them that feed.
We fixed both. Print an AliExpress product page with the PrintFriendly extension and you get the listing, description included, and the feeds stay behind.
What you get
The parts of the listing you'd actually want on paper stay:
- the price
- reviews
- specifications
- the item description, pictures and all
- questions and answers
- seller and shipping details
All three recommendation feeds are gone.
How to print it
- Open the listing and click the PrintFriendly button in your toolbar.
- Choose PrintFriendly View.
- Click anything you don't need. Delete mode is already on, and one click removes one block, like a single review. Undo brings it back.
- Click Print, or PDF to save a copy.
A PDF is a handy thing to keep: it holds the price and the description as the listing showed them the day you ordered, in case what arrives doesn't match.
The fix comes with the latest extension update, in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. For everything else you can do in PrintFriendly View before you print, see the extension features guide. It's the same idea as printing just the recipe: the part of the page you came for, and nothing else.
