A free alternative to consider
If you want another option, the Paper app from WeTransfer (available at no cost) is often suggested as an alternative for certain workflows. It’s a full-featured tool designed to run across popular browsers and aims to be accessible for people at any skill level.
Getting started
To begin, install the extension for your preferred browser, create or import a userscript, and enable it on the sites where you want it to run. Explore script repositories or communities to find ready-made scripts, then tweak them to match your needs.
