Short Demo Video

Quick Start Instructions:

  1. open a site with table like data
  2. (optional) click the toolbar button to highlight the exportable tables and lists (if the section you want to export does not get highlighted, then its likely not a valid HTML table-like structure and you'll have to look for another custom solution like a userscript to extract the data you want)
  3. right click inside of a highlighted area to open the context menu
  4. in the context menu select "Table to CSV" > "Export as TEXT" to export only the text inside the cells or use "Export as HTML" to export the complete HTML code inside each cell

Did the job, thanks

Detection of tables is poor. Data cells are exported as one file, row names as a 2nd file, column names as a 3rd file. Then you have to combine 3 files manually.
