        There’s also the app Paprika 3 that I’ve been using on Android for a few years. You paste the URL in and it’ll separate the ingredients, instructions, and even the fluff, into separate parts automatically.

        You can also input your own recipes and, if it’s a food blog that may be taken down in the future, it saves a local copy of the recipe for you.

        What we really need is a search engine that dismisses any recipe that uses cups as a measurement!

      Man, online recipe sites have gotten so bad in the last few years.

      There’s like a page of text talking about the food while the page is swimming with intrusive ads or promotions. I hate it.

      It’s like the worst parts of old school internet pop is ads gained sentience and a love for cooking.

      It’s always a game of finding and clicking print recipe as fast as I can. That and immersive reader have helped on mobile.

        It’s 100% Google’s fault.

        The recipe sites that would feed you the recipe right at the top are downranked in search because you don’t spend as long on them.

          This doesn’t pass the smell test for me. If I find a recipe I like I tend to spend the duration of that recipe on the website. the extra time it takes to skim to the recipe itself is a rounding error in that math. I posit the actual reason is that recipes aren’t copyrightable so the websites need to add all the extra bullshit, which is copyrightable, in order to make it hard for some bot to trivially take their recipes.

        At this point if I can’t find a “Jump to Recipe” button displayed prominently at the top of the page within three seconds of visiting I just nope out and find a less cancerous site

      Honestly, most of them have a jump straight to the recipe link or buttons now. I assume it’s because so many people complained in the comments about how they don’t care about their food story.
