<p>Press This is a little tool that lets you grab bits of the web and create new posts with ease.<br />
It will even allow you to choose from images or videos included on the page and use them in your post.<br />
Use Press This as a quick and lightweight way to highlight another page on the web.</p>

<h3>History</h3>
<p>WordPress, from the earliest days, included some way to bring in snippets from other websites for you to post on your own.</p>
<p>The original “Press It” was removed from WordPress 2.5 and a new “Press This” added in 2.6. It existed pretty much unchanged until WordPress 4.2, which completely refreshed Press This.</p>
<p>In WordPress 4.9, Press This was spun out to a “canonical plugin” — an official plugin from WordPress.org so sites who wanted to use it could, but streamline more niche functionality out of Core. This was previously done with the Importers.</p>


Press This

I tried out this plugin after being reminded about this feature of WordPress. I searched through core and found out its now a plugin. Tried it out, and it worked exactly like I expected! 

A problem is that, we like this new version of the post edit screen so much we want to come back and edit posts from this screen too... but you can't. 
😢
Maybe now that its a plugin you guys can give us a way to add an "edit in press this" button in the wp-admin bar, or on the posts screen?

Love this plugin - needs ability to edit posts

I installed it, wrote a post, tried to save, my Safari browser hang, consumed more than 4GB of memory and finally crashed with my post gone of course.
