   But tell which.

   Also specify.   
      
   I suggest the paragraph that starts with the head "Development" till   
   "User interface". Easy to select, single column, has some formatting.   
      
   > 3. Paste into any editor that supports HTML fragments.   
      
   It is either text part or html part.   
      
   Paste from FFx to lowriter, lets me choose text or html. html goes   
   perfect, the formatting of the page is included. Plain text paste goes   
   perfect, but without format, obviously.   
      
   Paste into kate doesn't let choose, and pastes the plain text version,   
   seemingly. Maybe the spacing with new section heading needs a new line.   
      
      
   > 4. Repeat the same steps in Chromium and compare.   
      
   I don't have Chromium, I have Chrome. The reason is that I use it when a   
   page refuses to work with FFx, I try instead with a fully commercial   
   browser they can not say they do not support.   
      
   html paste into lowriter is perfect. Unformatted text also pastes   
   perfetly. Paste into Kate also goes perfect, no issues that I can see.   
   The spacing of a new heading maybe it is different.   
      
   *Firefox to lowriter*   
      
   Google Chrome features a minimalistic user interface, with its   
   user-interface principles later being implemented in other browsers. For   
   example, the merging of the address bar and search bar into the omnibox   
   or omnibar.[57][58]   
   Web standards support   
      
   The first release of Google Chrome passed both the Acid1 and Acid2 web   
   standards compliance tests. Beginning with version 4.0, Chrome passed   
   all aspects of the Acid3 test,[59] However, as of April 2017 Chrome no   
   longer passes Acid3 due to changing consensus on Web standards.[60][61]

   Yes, there is a difference in kate when pasting from Chrome or from   
   Firefox. Not a biggie.
