I printed out this article-
https://au.pcmag.com/software/138/guide/the-best-vpn-services-of-2018
but the table at the beginning of the article won't print -- the printing begins with the Heading then skips the table of the various VPNs and continues from "VPNs Keep You Safe Online".
I had to use the Firefox Add-on 'Screengrab' to save that table to a file and then printed that *.png file.
Any thoughts as to why that table will not print as part of that article but has to be saved as a separate file in order to print it?
(Using Leap 15.0 [with kernel 4.17.11-3], Firefox v 60.0.1esr, and the printer is Epson Expression Photo XP-960.) It is probably intentionally by that page. Lousy programming.
In fact, when I go to that page a dialog displays in the top third of the page, centred horizontally, blocking reading:

No matter how many times I consent, it doesn't go away. I have to click "more options", then close the subsequent window.
(and "more" also says that I'm using and add blocker that I should remove. HA! It is set to "allow some advertising" or similar word. It blocks 22 intrusive adds on that page.
Hmm, I don't get that. I am using FF v61.0.1 which I installed manually, but I don't think the ver. # matters. My Add-ons are shown in the attached: ignore the first 3 and the last 'icons' and the rest are: UBlock Origin Privacy Badger NoScript Screengrab! Multithreaded Download Manager Video DownloadHelper Advlock Plus Lightbeam Popup Blocker Ghostery
The page is probably using a customized style for printing that is badly made.
Of the many websites I have visited in the past couple of years or so, I have found only one (1) site which had no errors in the coding (I check sites using 'http://validator.w3.org/'). Almost all sites are coded by script-kiddies and who charge like wounded bulls for their work (I have asked a few people with crap-coded sites how much they paid for the "job"). One of the sites belongs to one of our biggest retail franchise outlets in Australia (I actually corresponded personally with the managing director re this but even after some 18 months or so the site hasn't been amended [219 Errors and Warnings :-(].)
