Obnoxious Advertising Even On Paid "Pro" Version

12-11-25 - I've been using this extension for nearly a year now and overall I'm satisfied with its performance. I have three major problems that prevent me from giving it 5 stars:

1) The dev insists on printing "Captured by Fireshot" and "Get Fireshot" on every single page of your finished PDF! There is no way to disable this obnoxious advertising! It's an insult to customers who paid for the pro version to have that unnecessarily cluttering up their PDFs and wasting ink when you need to print the pages.

2) The finished PDF sizes are ENORMOUS. For example, a recent pdf I saved from Reddit resulted in a 3 page file that is 2.9MB! This is insane considering that I saved the exact same pdf using Vivaldi's FREE built-in "print to pdf" feature and that pdf is 5 pages and just 366kb! One of my largest Fireshot pdf files is a 205 page Reddit post that resulted in a 219.5MB file! My average Fireshot file size is about 50MB and I save up to one hundred per day, so this is a big problem for someone like me.

To be fair, Fireshot's resulting PDF looks more accurate compared to what you're seeing on the screen (Vivaldi's shrinks the first Reddit post to half of its actual width for some reason, which adds more pages to the finished file), but that accuracy doesn't matter when you're saving thousands of pdfs per week because Fireshot's huge pdf file sizes really add up! Now I have to add the cumbersome step of compressing dozens of pdfs per day with an external app to my workflow. Extremely annoying!

3) Fireshot has an obnoxious nag screen that auto opens after you've saved a certain number of pdfs. The only purpose of that nag screen is to pester you into leaving a review! It's unacceptable to nag your paid "Pro" customers to leave a review on top of your already obnoxious branding on every saved pdf page!

For a free way to save to pdf, you'll have to switch to another browser if you're on a Mac (you can save to pdf on Firefox for free too, but the finished pdfs are untitled). I recommend Vivaldi if you must used a Chrome-based browser for this; just remember to tweak your privacy settings and use the UBlock Origin extension and other privacy-protecting addons.

After one solid year of using Fireshot to print to pdf, I've decided to switch to Vivaldi as my daily driver simply because these 3 major Fireshot issues have made saving to pdf on Firefox too cumbersome and annoying.
