Just tried it, it works pretty well but some elements are rendered in a weird way. It also seems to not save the mobile version of sites you might see on your screen but adjusts the render size to a more paper-like aspect ratio and size. Still, cool feature!

I still miss the `print` feature. At least Something is better than nothing.

Firefox is the only Browser trying to bring desktop sanity to mobile.

Safari has save as pdf in iOS too, press the share button then options at the top.

Chrome on iOS also has save as pdf, have to press share, then print, then the share icon again at the top.

This is great, though with the usual formatting caveats of pdf printing from any browser! Firefox for Android used to have this feature up to version 60's somewhere but it was removed. I've found it useful on my android to keep an old version of firefox for limited use when I need things like pdf generation or various "unapproved" addons. Now that most of my extensions work on Firefox Nightly (with AMO), and with restored pdf functionality, there isn't much reason to keep the old version around. I'm very happy lately with firefox, both on desktop and android. I wish it would recover some market share from chrome.
