But tell which.

II suggest <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome>

Also specify.

I suggest the paragraph that starts with the head "Development" till 
"User interface". Easy to select, single column, has some formatting.

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.

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.
