Any web page → clean markdown. No nav, no ads, no sidebar junk.

why it matters

Point defuddle at any URL and get back the main article content as clean markdown — no nav, no ads, no sidebar, no cookie banners. Strip down pages before feeding them to Claude so you're not burning tokens on menus and footer links.

Use this daily instead of WebFetch when reading articles or docs — token cost drops 60-80%, signal-to-noise goes up. Built by kepano (Obsidian team). Free, MIT.

You need the raw HTML or page layout — defuddle throws away everything except the article body.
