- Table mode places tab-separated values and an HTML table on the clipboard for pasting into spreadsheets or document editors.
Field notes
The workflow starts with a keyboard shortcut or extension click, then a drawn selection box; the page says the rest of the screen stays dark. The result can be edited in a panel before copying, and table mode supplies both tab-separated and HTML clipboard formats. The homepage describes a 10-capture daily free allowance without an account and lists Chrome’s internal pages and the Web Store as exceptions.
