I’m seeing image degradation when using Firefox (very pixely). Some of my favorite webcomics like Least I Could Do look pretty bad.My guess is that this is being done to optimize speed. Haven’t seen any way to turn it off. Have you run into issues with this?

Saving as PDF functionality is pretty awesome. Combine with Repligo PDF reader and it’s a great way to annotate a website for later.
