Way 3: Switch to Reading Mode and Print

When you switch to the reading mode on your browser, the webpage will be shown in another format that only contains texts and important images. However, not every browser allows you to print the webpage in reading mode like Mozilla Firefox and Safari. Although Chrome supports changing to the reading mode, the webpage cannot be printed in this mode so you cannot print webpage without ads and pictures in this way on Chrome.

If you are using a browser without a built-in reading mode button or you cannot find it, you can add an extension equipped with the ability to switch to the mode. Then, print this webpage without ads.
