+## 🕵️ Undetected Browser Support: Stealth Mode Activated
+
+**The Problem:** Modern websites employ sophisticated bot detection systems. Cloudflare, Akamai, and custom solutions block automated crawlers, limiting access to valuable content.
+
+**My Solution:** I implemented undetected browser support with a flexible adapter pattern. Now Crawl4AI can bypass most bot detection systems using stealth techniques.
+
+### Technical Implementation
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, BrowserConfig
+
+# Enable undetected mode for stealth crawling
+browser_config = BrowserConfig(
+    browser_type="undetected",  # Use undetected Chrome
+    headless=True,              # Can run headless with stealth
+    extra_args=[
+        "--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled",
+        "--disable-web-security",
+        "--disable-features=VizDisplayCompositor"
+    ]
+)
+
+async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_config) as crawler:
+    # This will bypass most bot detection systems
+    result = await crawler.arun("https://protected-site.com")
+    
+    if result.success:
+        print("✅ Successfully bypassed bot detection!")
+        print(f"Content length: {len(result.markdown)}")
+```
+
+**Advanced Anti-Bot Strategies:**
+
+```python
+# Combine multiple stealth techniques
+from crawl4ai import CrawlerRunConfig
+
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    # Random user agents and headers
+    headers={
+        "Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.9",
+        "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate, br",
+        "DNT": "1"
+    },
+    
+    # Human-like behavior simulation
+    js_code="""
+        // Random mouse movements
+        const simulateHuman = () => {
+            const event = new MouseEvent('mousemove', {
+                clientX: Math.random() * window.innerWidth,
+                clientY: Math.random() * window.innerHeight
+            });
+            document.dispatchEvent(event);
+        };
+        setInterval(simulateHuman, 100 + Math.random() * 200);
+        
+        // Random scrolling
+        const randomScroll = () => {
+            const scrollY = Math.random() * (document.body.scrollHeight - window.innerHeight);
+            window.scrollTo(0, scrollY);
+        };
+        setTimeout(randomScroll, 500 + Math.random() * 1000);

+    delay_before_return_html=2.0
+)
+
+result = await crawler.arun("https://bot-protected-site.com", config=config)
+```
+
+**Expected Real-World Impact:**
+- **Enterprise Scraping**: Access previously blocked corporate sites and databases
+- **Market Research**: Gather data from competitor sites with protection
+- **Price Monitoring**: Track e-commerce sites that block automated access
+- **Content Aggregation**: Collect news and social media despite anti-bot measures
+- **Compliance Testing**: Verify your own site's bot protection effectiveness
+
+## 🧠 Memory Monitoring & Optimization
+
+**The Problem:** Long-running crawl sessions consuming excessive memory, especially when processing large batches or heavy JavaScript sites.
+
+**My Solution:** Built comprehensive memory monitoring and optimization utilities that track usage patterns and provide actionable insights.
+
+### Memory Tracking Implementation
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai.memory_utils import MemoryMonitor, get_memory_info
+
+# Monitor memory during crawling
+monitor = MemoryMonitor()
+
+async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
+    # Start monitoring
+    monitor.start_monitoring()
+    
+    # Perform memory-intensive operations
+    results = await crawler.arun_many([
+        "https://heavy-js-site.com",
+        "https://large-images-site.com", 
+        "https://dynamic-content-site.com"
+    ])
+    
+    # Get detailed memory report
+    memory_report = monitor.get_report()
+    print(f"Peak memory usage: {memory_report['peak_mb']:.1f} MB")
+    print(f"Memory efficiency: {memory_report['efficiency']:.1f}%")
+    
+    # Automatic cleanup suggestions
+    if memory_report['peak_mb'] > 1000:  # > 1GB
+        print("💡 Consider batch size optimization")
+        print("💡 Enable aggressive garbage collection")
+```
+
+**Expected Real-World Impact:**
+- **Production Stability**: Prevent memory-related crashes in long-running services
+- **Cost Optimization**: Right-size server resources based on actual usage
+- **Performance Tuning**: Identify memory bottlenecks and optimization opportunities
+- **Scalability Planning**: Understand memory patterns for horizontal scaling
+
+## 📊 Enhanced Table Extraction
+
+**The Problem:** Table data was accessed through the generic `result.media` interface, making DataFrame conversion cumbersome and unclear.
+
+**My Solution:** Dedicated `result.tables` interface with direct DataFrame conversion and improved detection algorithms.
+
+### New Table Access Pattern
+
+```python
+# Old way (deprecated)
+# tables_data = result.media.get('tables', [])
+
+# New way (v0.7.3+)
+result = await crawler.arun("https://site-with-tables.com")
+
+# Direct table access
+if result.tables:
+    print(f"Found {len(result.tables)} tables")
+    
+    # Convert to pandas DataFrame instantly
+    import pandas as pd
+    
+    for i, table in enumerate(result.tables):
+        df = pd.DataFrame(table['data'])
+        print(f"Table {i}: {df.shape[0]} rows × {df.shape[1]} columns")
+        print(df.head())
+        
+        # Table metadata
+        print(f"Source: {table.get('source_xpath', 'Unknown')}")
+        print(f"Headers: {table.get('headers', [])}")
+```
+
+**Expected Real-World Impact:**
+- **Data Analysis**: Faster transition from web data to analysis-ready DataFrames
+- **ETL Pipelines**: Cleaner integration with data processing workflows
+- **Reporting**: Simplified table extraction for automated reporting systems

+
+## 🚀 LLMTableExtraction: Revolutionary Table Processing
+
+**The Problem:** Complex tables with rowspan, colspan, nested structures, or massive datasets that traditional HTML parsing can't handle effectively. Large tables that exceed token limits crash extraction processes.
+
+**My Solution:** I developed LLMTableExtraction—an intelligent table extraction strategy that uses Large Language Models with automatic chunking to handle tables of any size and complexity.
+
+### Technical Implementation
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import (
+    AsyncWebCrawler,
+    CrawlerRunConfig, 
+    LLMConfig,
+    LLMTableExtraction,
+    CacheMode
+)
+
+# Configure LLM for table extraction
+llm_config = LLMConfig(
+    provider="openai/gpt-4.1-mini",
+    api_token="env:OPENAI_API_KEY",
+    temperature=0.1,  # Low temperature for consistency
+    max_tokens=32000
+)
+
+# Create intelligent table extraction strategy
+table_strategy = LLMTableExtraction(
+    llm_config=llm_config,
+    verbose=True,
+    max_tries=2,
+    enable_chunking=True,           # Handle massive tables
+    chunk_token_threshold=5000,     # Smart chunking threshold
+    overlap_threshold=100,          # Maintain context between chunks
+    extraction_type="structured"    # Get structured data output
+)
+
+# Apply to crawler configuration
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_extraction_strategy=table_strategy,
+    cache_mode=CacheMode.BYPASS
+)
+
+async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
+    # Extract complex tables with intelligence
+    result = await crawler.arun(
+        "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP", 
+        config=config
+    )
+    
+    # Access extracted tables directly
+    for i, table in enumerate(result.tables):
+        print(f"Table {i}: {len(table['data'])} rows × {len(table['headers'])} columns")
+        
+        # Convert to pandas DataFrame instantly
+        import pandas as pd
+        df = pd.DataFrame(table['data'], columns=table['headers'])
+        print(df.head())
+```
+
+**Intelligent Chunking for Massive Tables:**
+
+```python
+# Handle tables that exceed token limits
+large_table_strategy = LLMTableExtraction(
+    llm_config=llm_config,
+    enable_chunking=True,
+    chunk_token_threshold=3000,    # Conservative threshold
+    overlap_threshold=150,         # Preserve context
+    max_concurrent_chunks=3,       # Parallel processing
+    merge_strategy="intelligent"   # Smart chunk merging
+)
+
+# Process Wikipedia comparison tables, financial reports, etc.
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_extraction_strategy=large_table_strategy,
+    # Target specific table containers
+    css_selector="div.wikitable, table.sortable",
+    delay_before_return_html=2.0
+)
+
+result = await crawler.arun(
+    "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_operating_systems",
+    config=config
+)
+
+# Tables are automatically chunked, processed, and merged
+print(f"Extracted {len(result.tables)} complex tables")
+for table in result.tables:
+    print(f"Merged table: {len(table['data'])} total rows")
+```
+
+**Advanced Features:**
+
+- **Intelligent Chunking**: Automatically splits massive tables while preserving structure
+- **Context Preservation**: Overlapping chunks maintain column relationships
+- **Parallel Processing**: Concurrent chunk processing for speed
+- **Smart Merging**: Reconstructs complete tables from processed chunks
+- **Complex Structure Support**: Handles rowspan, colspan, nested tables
+- **Metadata Extraction**: Captures table context, captions, and relationships
+
+**Expected Real-World Impact:**
+- **Financial Analysis**: Extract complex earnings tables and financial statements
+- **Research & Academia**: Process large datasets from Wikipedia, research papers
+- **E-commerce**: Handle product comparison tables with complex layouts
+- **Government Data**: Extract census data, statistical tables from official sources
+- **Competitive Intelligence**: Process competitor pricing and feature tables
+
+## ⚡ Enhanced Concurrency: True Performance Gains
+
+**The Problem:** The `arun_many()` method wasn't achieving true concurrency for fast-completing tasks, leading to sequential processing bottlenecks in batch operations.
+
+**My Solution:** I implemented true concurrency improvements in the dispatcher that enable genuine parallel processing for fast-completing tasks.
+
+### Performance Optimization
+
+```python
+# Before v0.7.4: Sequential-like behavior for fast tasks
+# After v0.7.4: True concurrency
+
+async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
+    # These will now run with true concurrency
+    urls = [
+        "https://httpbin.org/delay/1",
+        "https://httpbin.org/delay/1", 
+        "https://httpbin.org/delay/1",
+        "https://httpbin.org/delay/1"
+    ]
+    
+    # Processes in truly parallel fashion
+    results = await crawler.arun_many(urls)
+    
+    # Performance improvement: ~4x faster for fast-completing tasks
+    print(f"Processed {len(results)} URLs with true concurrency")
+```
+
+**Expected Real-World Impact:**
+- **API Crawling**: 3-4x faster processing of REST endpoints and API documentation
+- **Batch URL Processing**: Significant speedup for large URL lists
+- **Monitoring Systems**: Faster health checks and status page monitoring
+- **Data Aggregation**: Improved performance for real-time data collection
+
+## 🧹 Memory Management Refactor: Cleaner Architecture
+
+**The Problem:** Memory utilities were scattered and difficult to maintain, with potential import conflicts and unclear organization.
+
+**My Solution:** I consolidated all memory-related utilities into the main `utils.py` module, creating a cleaner, more maintainable architecture.
+
+### Improved Memory Handling
+
+```python
+# All memory utilities now consolidated
+from crawl4ai.utils import get_true_memory_usage_percent, MemoryMonitor
+
+# Enhanced memory monitoring
+monitor = MemoryMonitor()
+monitor.start_monitoring()
+
+async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
+    # Memory-efficient batch processing
+    results = await crawler.arun_many(large_url_list)
+    
+    # Get accurate memory metrics
+    memory_usage = get_true_memory_usage_percent()
+    memory_report = monitor.get_report()
+    
+    print(f"Memory efficiency: {memory_report['efficiency']:.1f}%")
+    print(f"Peak usage: {memory_report['peak_mb']:.1f} MB")
+```
+
+**Expected Real-World Impact:**
+- **Production Stability**: More reliable memory tracking and management
+- **Code Maintainability**: Cleaner architecture for easier debugging
+- **Import Clarity**: Resolved potential conflicts and import issues
+- **Developer Experience**: Simpler API for memory monitoring
+
+## 🔧 Critical Stability Fixes
+
+### Browser Manager Race Condition Resolution
+
+**The Problem:** Concurrent page creation in persistent browser contexts caused "Target page/context closed" errors during high-concurrency operations.
+
+**My Solution:** Implemented thread-safe page creation with proper locking mechanisms.
+
+```python
+# Fixed: Safe concurrent page creation
+browser_config = BrowserConfig(
+    browser_type="chromium",
+    use_persistent_context=True,  # Now thread-safe
+    max_concurrent_sessions=10    # Safely handle concurrent requests
+)
+
+async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_config) as crawler:
+    # These concurrent operations are now stable
+    tasks = [crawler.arun(url) for url in url_list]
+    results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)  # No more race conditions
+```
+
+### Enhanced Browser Profiler
+
+**The Problem:** Inconsistent keyboard handling across platforms and unreliable quit mechanisms.
+
+**My Solution:** Cross-platform keyboard listeners with improved quit handling.
+
+### Advanced URL Processing
+
+**The Problem:** Raw URL formats (`raw://` and `raw:`) weren't properly handled, and base tag link resolution was incomplete.
+
+**My Solution:** Enhanced URL preprocessing and base tag support.
+
+```python
+# Now properly handles all URL formats
+urls = [
+    "https://example.com",
+    "raw://static-html-content", 
+    "raw:file://local-file.html"
+]
+
+# Base tag links are now correctly resolved
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    include_links=True,  # Links properly resolved with base tags
+    resolve_absolute_urls=True
+)
+```
+
+## 🛡️ Enhanced Proxy Configuration
+
+**The Problem:** Proxy configuration only accepted specific formats, limiting flexibility.
+
+**My Solution:** Enhanced ProxyConfig to support both dictionary and string formats.
+
+```python
+# Multiple proxy configuration formats now supported
+from crawl4ai import BrowserConfig, ProxyConfig
+
+# String format
+proxy_config = ProxyConfig("http://proxy.example.com:8080")
+
+# Dictionary format  
+proxy_config = ProxyConfig({
+    "server": "http://proxy.example.com:8080",
+    "username": "user",
+    "password": "pass"
+})
+
+# Use with crawler
+browser_config = BrowserConfig(proxy_config=proxy_config)
+async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_config) as crawler:
+    result = await crawler.arun("https://httpbin.org/ip")
+```

-### [Crawl4AI v0.5.0: Deep Crawling, Scalability, and a New CLI!](releases/0.5.0.md)
-
-My dear friends and crawlers, there you go, this is the release of Crawl4AI v0.5.0! This release brings a wealth of new features, performance improvements, and a more streamlined developer experience.  Here's a breakdown of what's new:
-
-**Major New Features:**
-
-*   **Deep Crawling:** Explore entire websites with configurable strategies (BFS, DFS, Best-First).  Define custom filters and URL scoring for targeted crawls.
-*   **Memory-Adaptive Dispatcher:**  Handle large-scale crawls with ease!  Our new dispatcher dynamically adjusts concurrency based on available memory and includes built-in rate limiting.
-*   **Multiple Crawler Strategies:** Choose between the full-featured Playwright browser-based crawler or a new, *much* faster HTTP-only crawler for simpler tasks.
-*   **Docker Deployment:**  Deploy Crawl4AI as a scalable, self-contained service with built-in API endpoints and optional JWT authentication.
-*   **Command-Line Interface (CLI):**  Interact with Crawl4AI directly from your terminal.  Crawl, configure, and extract data with simple commands.
-*   **LLM Configuration (`LLMConfig`):** A new, unified way to configure LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, etc.) for extraction, filtering, and schema generation.  Simplifies API key management and switching between models.
-
-**Minor Updates & Improvements:**
-
-*   **LXML Scraping Mode:** Faster HTML parsing with `LXMLWebScrapingStrategy`.
-*   **Proxy Rotation:** Added `ProxyRotationStrategy` with a `RoundRobinProxyStrategy` implementation.
-*   **PDF Processing:** Extract text, images, and metadata from PDF files.
-*   **URL Redirection Tracking:**  Automatically follows and records redirects.
-*   **Robots.txt Compliance:**  Optionally respect website crawling rules.
-*   **LLM-Powered Schema Generation:**  Automatically create extraction schemas using an LLM.
-*   **`LLMContentFilter`:** Generate high-quality, focused markdown using an LLM.
-*   **Improved Error Handling & Stability:** Numerous bug fixes and performance enhancements.
-*   **Enhanced Documentation:**  Updated guides and examples.
-
-**Breaking Changes & Migration:**
-
-This release includes several breaking changes to improve the library's structure and consistency.  Here's what you need to know:
-
-*   **`arun_many()` Behavior:** Now uses the `MemoryAdaptiveDispatcher` by default.  The return type depends on the `stream` parameter in `CrawlerRunConfig`.  Adjust code that relied on unbounded concurrency.
-*   **`max_depth` Location:** Moved to `CrawlerRunConfig` and now controls *crawl depth*.
-*   **Deep Crawling Imports:**  Import `DeepCrawlStrategy` and related classes from `crawl4ai.deep_crawling`.
-*   **`BrowserContext` API:**  Updated; the old `get_context` method is deprecated.
-*   **Optional Model Fields:** Many data model fields are now optional.  Handle potential `None` values.
-*   **`ScrapingMode` Enum:** Replaced with strategy pattern (`WebScrapingStrategy`, `LXMLWebScrapingStrategy`).
-*   **`content_filter` Parameter:** Removed from `CrawlerRunConfig`. Use extraction strategies or markdown generators with filters.
-*   **Removed Functionality:** The synchronous `WebCrawler`, the old CLI, and docs management tools have been removed.
-*   **Docker:**  Significant changes to deployment.  See the [Docker documentation](../deploy/docker/README.md).
-*   **`ssl_certificate.json`:** This file has been removed.
-* **Config**: FastFilterChain has been replaced with FilterChain
-* **Deep-Crawl**: DeepCrawlStrategy.arun now returns Union[CrawlResultT, List[CrawlResultT], AsyncGenerator[CrawlResultT, None]]
-* **Proxy**: Removed synchronous WebCrawler support and related rate limiting configurations
-*   **LLM Parameters:** Use the new `LLMConfig` object instead of passing `provider`, `api_token`, `base_url`, and `api_base` directly to `LLMExtractionStrategy` and `LLMContentFilter`.
-
-**In short:** Update imports, adjust `arun_many()` usage, check for optional fields, and review the Docker deployment guide.
-

+# Table Extraction Strategies
+
+## Overview
+
+**New in v0.7.3+**: Table extraction now follows the **Strategy Design Pattern**, providing unprecedented flexibility and power for handling different table structures. Don't worry - **your existing code still works!** We maintain full backward compatibility while offering new capabilities.
+
+### What's Changed?
+- **Architecture**: Table extraction now uses pluggable strategies
+- **Backward Compatible**: Your existing code with `table_score_threshold` continues to work
+- **More Power**: Choose from multiple strategies or create your own
+- **Same Default Behavior**: By default, uses `DefaultTableExtraction` (same as before)
+
+### Key Points
+✅ **Old code still works** - No breaking changes  
+✅ **Same default behavior** - Uses the proven extraction algorithm  
+✅ **New capabilities** - Add LLM extraction or custom strategies when needed  
+✅ **Strategy pattern** - Clean, extensible architecture
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### The Simplest Way (Works Like Before)
+
+If you're already using Crawl4AI, nothing changes:
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, CrawlerRunConfig
+
+async def extract_tables():
+    async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
+        # This works exactly like before - uses DefaultTableExtraction internally
+        result = await crawler.arun("https://example.com/data")
+        
+        # Tables are automatically extracted and available in result.tables
+        for table in result.tables:
+            print(f"Table with {len(table['rows'])} rows and {len(table['headers'])} columns")
+            print(f"Headers: {table['headers']}")
+            print(f"First row: {table['rows'][0] if table['rows'] else 'No data'}")
+
+asyncio.run(extract_tables())
+```
+
+### Using the Old Configuration (Still Supported)
+
+Your existing code with `table_score_threshold` continues to work:
+
+```python
+# This old approach STILL WORKS - we maintain backward compatibility
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_score_threshold=7  # Internally creates DefaultTableExtraction(table_score_threshold=7)
+)
+result = await crawler.arun(url, config)
+```
+
+## Table Extraction Strategies
+
+### Understanding the Strategy Pattern
+
+The strategy pattern allows you to choose different table extraction algorithms at runtime. Think of it as having different tools in a toolbox - you pick the right one for the job:
+
+- **No explicit strategy?** → Uses `DefaultTableExtraction` automatically (same as v0.7.2 and earlier)
+- **Need complex table handling?** → Choose `LLMTableExtraction` (costs money, use sparingly)
+- **Want to disable tables?** → Use `NoTableExtraction`
+- **Have special requirements?** → Create a custom strategy
+
+### Available Strategies
+
+| Strategy | Description | Use Case | Cost | When to Use |
+|----------|-------------|----------|------|-------------|
+| `DefaultTableExtraction` | **RECOMMENDED**: Same algorithm as before v0.7.3 | General purpose (default) | Free | **Use this first - handles 95% of cases** |
+| `LLMTableExtraction` | AI-powered extraction for complex tables | Tables with complex rowspan/colspan | **$$$ Per API call** | Only when DefaultTableExtraction fails |
+| `NoTableExtraction` | Disables table extraction | When tables aren't needed | Free | For text-only extraction |
+| Custom strategies | User-defined extraction logic | Specialized requirements | Free | Domain-specific needs |
+
+> **⚠️ CRITICAL COST WARNING for LLMTableExtraction**: 
+> 
+> **DO NOT USE `LLMTableExtraction` UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!**
+> 
+> - **Always try `DefaultTableExtraction` first** - It's free and handles most tables perfectly
+> - LLM extraction **costs money** with every API call
+> - For large tables (100+ rows), LLM extraction can be **very slow**
+> - **For large tables**: If you must use LLM, choose fast providers:
+>   - ✅ **Groq** (fastest inference)
+>   - ✅ **Cerebras** (optimized for speed)
+>   - ⚠️ Avoid: OpenAI, Anthropic for large tables (slower)
+> 
+> **🚧 WORK IN PROGRESS**: 
+> We are actively developing an **advanced non-LLM algorithm** that will handle complex table structures (rowspan, colspan, nested tables) for **FREE**. This will replace the need for costly LLM extraction in most cases. Coming soon!
+
+### DefaultTableExtraction
+
+The default strategy uses a sophisticated scoring system to identify data tables:
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import DefaultTableExtraction, CrawlerRunConfig
+
+# Customize the default extraction
+table_strategy = DefaultTableExtraction(
+    table_score_threshold=7,  # Scoring threshold (default: 7)
+    min_rows=2,               # Minimum rows required
+    min_cols=2,               # Minimum columns required
+    verbose=True              # Enable detailed logging
+)
+
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_extraction=table_strategy
+)
+```
+
+#### Scoring System
+
+The scoring system evaluates multiple factors:
+
+| Factor | Score Impact | Description |
+|--------|--------------|-------------|
+| Has `<thead>` | +2 | Semantic table structure |
+| Has `<tbody>` | +1 | Organized table body |
+| Has `<th>` elements | +2 | Header cells present |
+| Headers in correct position | +1 | Proper semantic structure |
+| Consistent column count | +2 | Regular data structure |
+| Has caption | +2 | Descriptive caption |
+| Has summary | +1 | Summary attribute |
+| High text density | +2 to +3 | Content-rich cells |
+| Data attributes | +0.5 each | Data-* attributes |
+| Nested tables | -3 | Often indicates layout |
+| Role="presentation" | -3 | Explicitly non-data |
+| Too few rows | -2 | Insufficient data |
+
+### LLMTableExtraction (Use Sparingly!)
+
+**⚠️ WARNING**: Only use this when `DefaultTableExtraction` fails with complex tables!
+
+LLMTableExtraction uses AI to understand complex table structures that traditional parsers struggle with. It automatically handles large tables through intelligent chunking and parallel processing:
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import LLMTableExtraction, LLMConfig, CrawlerRunConfig
+
+# Configure LLM (costs money per call!)
+llm_config = LLMConfig(
+    provider="groq/llama-3.3-70b-versatile",  # Fast provider for large tables
+    api_token="your_api_key",
+    temperature=0.1
+)
+
+# Create LLM extraction strategy with smart chunking
+table_strategy = LLMTableExtraction(
+    llm_config=llm_config,
+    max_tries=3,                      # Retry up to 3 times if extraction fails
+    css_selector="table",             # Optional: focus on specific tables
+    enable_chunking=True,             # Automatically chunk large tables (default: True)
+    chunk_token_threshold=3000,       # Split tables larger than this (default: 3000 tokens)
+    min_rows_per_chunk=10,            # Minimum rows per chunk (default: 10)
+    max_parallel_chunks=5,            # Process up to 5 chunks in parallel (default: 5)
+    verbose=True
+)
+
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_extraction=table_strategy
+)
+
+result = await crawler.arun(url, config)
+```
+
+#### When to Use LLMTableExtraction
+
+✅ **Use ONLY when**:
+- Tables have complex merged cells (rowspan/colspan) that break DefaultTableExtraction
+- Nested tables that need semantic understanding
+- Tables with irregular structures
+- You've tried DefaultTableExtraction and it failed
+
+❌ **Never use when**:
+- DefaultTableExtraction works (99% of cases)
+- Tables are simple or well-structured
+- You're processing many pages (costs add up!)
+- Tables have 100+ rows (very slow)
+
+#### How Smart Chunking Works
+
+LLMTableExtraction automatically handles large tables through intelligent chunking:
+
+1. **Automatic Detection**: Tables exceeding the token threshold are automatically split
+2. **Smart Splitting**: Chunks are created at row boundaries, preserving table structure
+3. **Header Preservation**: Each chunk includes the original headers for context
+4. **Parallel Processing**: Multiple chunks are processed simultaneously for speed
+5. **Intelligent Merging**: Results are merged back into a single, complete table
+
+**Chunking Parameters**:
+- `enable_chunking` (default: `True`): Automatically handle large tables
+- `chunk_token_threshold` (default: `3000`): When to split tables
+- `min_rows_per_chunk` (default: `10`): Ensures meaningful chunk sizes
+- `max_parallel_chunks` (default: `5`): Concurrent processing for speed
+
+The chunking is completely transparent - you get the same output format whether the table was processed in one piece or multiple chunks.
+
+#### Performance Optimization for LLMTableExtraction
+
+**Provider Recommendations by Table Size**:
+
+| Table Size | Recommended Providers | Why |
+|------------|----------------------|-----|
+| Small (<50 rows) | Any provider | Fast enough |
+| Medium (50-200 rows) | Groq, Cerebras | Optimized inference |
+| Large (200+ rows) | **Groq** (best), Cerebras | Fastest inference + automatic chunking |
+| Very Large (500+ rows) | Groq with chunking | Parallel processing keeps it fast |
+
+### NoTableExtraction
+
+Disable table extraction for better performance when tables aren't needed:
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import NoTableExtraction, CrawlerRunConfig
+
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_extraction=NoTableExtraction()
+)
+
+# Tables won't be extracted, improving performance
+result = await crawler.arun(url, config)
+assert len(result.tables) == 0
+```
+
+## Extracted Table Structure
+
+Each extracted table contains:
+
+```python
+{
+    "headers": ["Column 1", "Column 2", ...],  # Column headers
+    "rows": [                                   # Data rows
+        ["Row 1 Col 1", "Row 1 Col 2", ...],
+        ["Row 2 Col 1", "Row 2 Col 2", ...],
+    ],
+    "caption": "Table Caption",                # If present
+    "summary": "Table Summary",                # If present
+    "metadata": {
+        "row_count": 10,                       # Number of rows
+        "column_count": 3,                      # Number of columns
+        "has_headers": True,                    # Headers detected
+        "has_caption": True,                    # Caption exists
+        "has_summary": False,                   # Summary exists
+        "id": "data-table-1",                   # Table ID if present
+        "class": "financial-data"               # Table class if present
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+```python
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    # Table extraction settings
+    table_score_threshold=7,      # Default threshold (backward compatible)
+    table_extraction=strategy,     # Optional: custom strategy
+    
+    # Filter what to process
+    css_selector="main",          # Focus on specific area
+    excluded_tags=["nav", "aside"] # Exclude page sections
+)
+```
+
+### Advanced Configuration
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import DefaultTableExtraction, CrawlerRunConfig
+
+# Fine-tuned extraction
+strategy = DefaultTableExtraction(
+    table_score_threshold=5,      # Lower = more permissive
+    min_rows=3,                   # Require at least 3 rows
+    min_cols=2,                   # Require at least 2 columns
+    verbose=True                  # Detailed logging
+)
+
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_extraction=strategy,
+    css_selector="article.content", # Target specific content
+    exclude_domains=["ads.com"],   # Exclude ad domains
+    cache_mode=CacheMode.BYPASS    # Fresh extraction
+)
+```
+
+## Working with Extracted Tables
+
+### Convert to Pandas DataFrame
+
+```python
+import pandas as pd
+
+async def tables_to_dataframes(url):
+    async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
+        result = await crawler.arun(url)
+        
+        dataframes = []
+        for table_data in result.tables:
+            # Create DataFrame
+            if table_data['headers']:
+                df = pd.DataFrame(
+                    table_data['rows'],
+                    columns=table_data['headers']
+                )
+            else:
+                df = pd.DataFrame(table_data['rows'])
+            
+            # Add metadata as DataFrame attributes
+            df.attrs['caption'] = table_data.get('caption', '')
+            df.attrs['metadata'] = table_data.get('metadata', {})
+            
+            dataframes.append(df)
+        
+        return dataframes
+```
+
+### Filter Tables by Criteria
+
+```python
+async def extract_large_tables(url):
+    async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
+        # Configure minimum size requirements
+        strategy = DefaultTableExtraction(
+            min_rows=10,
+            min_cols=3,
+            table_score_threshold=6
+        )
+        
+        config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+            table_extraction=strategy
+        )
+        
+        result = await crawler.arun(url, config)
+        
+        # Further filter results
+        large_tables = [
+            table for table in result.tables
+            if table['metadata']['row_count'] > 10
+            and table['metadata']['column_count'] > 3
+        ]
+        
+        return large_tables
+```
+
+### Export Tables to Different Formats
+
+```python
+import json
+import csv
+
+async def export_tables(url):
+    async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
+        result = await crawler.arun(url)
+        
+        for i, table in enumerate(result.tables):
+            # Export as JSON
+            with open(f'table_{i}.json', 'w') as f:
+                json.dump(table, f, indent=2)
+            
+            # Export as CSV
+            with open(f'table_{i}.csv', 'w', newline='') as f:
+                writer = csv.writer(f)
+                if table['headers']:
+                    writer.writerow(table['headers'])
+                writer.writerows(table['rows'])
+            
+            # Export as Markdown
+            with open(f'table_{i}.md', 'w') as f:
+                # Write headers
+                if table['headers']:
+                    f.write('| ' + ' | '.join(table['headers']) + ' |\n')
+                    f.write('|' + '---|' * len(table['headers']) + '\n')
+                
+                # Write rows
+                for row in table['rows']:
+                    f.write('| ' + ' | '.join(str(cell) for cell in row) + ' |\n')
+```
+
+## Creating Custom Strategies
+
+Extend `TableExtractionStrategy` to create custom extraction logic:
+
+### Example: Financial Table Extractor
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import TableExtractionStrategy
+from typing import List, Dict, Any
+import re
+
+class FinancialTableExtractor(TableExtractionStrategy):

+        self.require_numbers = require_numbers
+        self.number_pattern = re.compile(r'\d+[,.]?\d*')
+    
+    def extract_tables(self, element, **kwargs):

+        
+        for table in element.xpath(".//table"):
+            # Check if table contains financial indicators
+            table_text = ''.join(table.itertext())

+    
+    def _get_caption(self, table):
+        caption = table.xpath(".//caption/text()")

+
+# Usage
+strategy = FinancialTableExtractor(
+    currency_symbols=['$', 'EUR'],
+    require_numbers=True
+)
+
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_extraction=strategy
+)
+```
+
+### Example: Specific Table Extractor
+
+```python

+        return tables_data
+```
+
+## Combining with Other Strategies
+
+Table extraction works seamlessly with other Crawl4AI strategies:
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import (
+    AsyncWebCrawler,
+    CrawlerRunConfig,
+    DefaultTableExtraction,
+    LLMExtractionStrategy,
+    JsonCssExtractionStrategy
+)
+
+async def combined_extraction(url):
+    async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
+        config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+            # Table extraction
+            table_extraction=DefaultTableExtraction(
+                table_score_threshold=6,
+                min_rows=2
+            ),
+            
+            # CSS-based extraction for specific elements
+            extraction_strategy=JsonCssExtractionStrategy({
+                "title": "h1",
+                "summary": "p.summary",
+                "date": "time"
+            }),
+            
+            # Focus on main content
+            css_selector="main.content"
+        )
+        
+        result = await crawler.arun(url, config)
+        
+        # Access different extraction results
+        tables = result.tables  # Table data
+        structured = json.loads(result.extracted_content)  # CSS extraction
+        
+        return {
+            "tables": tables,
+            "structured_data": structured,
+            "markdown": result.markdown
+        }
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Optimization Tips
+
+1. **Disable when not needed**: Use `NoTableExtraction` if tables aren't required
+2. **Target specific areas**: Use `css_selector` to limit processing scope
+3. **Set minimum thresholds**: Filter out small/irrelevant tables early
+4. **Cache results**: Use appropriate cache modes for repeated extractions
+
+```python
+# Optimized configuration for large pages
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    # Only process main content area
+    css_selector="article.main-content",
+    
+    # Exclude navigation and sidebars
+    excluded_tags=["nav", "aside", "footer"],
+    
+    # Higher threshold for stricter filtering
+    table_extraction=DefaultTableExtraction(
+        table_score_threshold=8,
+        min_rows=5,
+        min_cols=3
+    ),
+    
+    # Enable caching for repeated access
+    cache_mode=CacheMode.ENABLED
+)
+```
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### Important: Your Code Still Works!
+
+**No changes required!** The transition to the strategy pattern is **fully backward compatible**.
+
+### How It Works Internally
+
+#### v0.7.2 and Earlier
+```python
+# Old way - directly passing table_score_threshold
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_score_threshold=7
+)
+# Internally: No strategy pattern, direct implementation
+```
+
+#### v0.7.3+ (Current)
+```python
+# Old way STILL WORKS - we handle it internally
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_score_threshold=7
+)
+# Internally: Automatically creates DefaultTableExtraction(table_score_threshold=7)
+```
+
+### Taking Advantage of New Features
+
+While your old code works, you can now use the strategy pattern for more control:
+
+```python
+# Option 1: Keep using the old way (perfectly fine!)
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_score_threshold=7  # Still supported
+)
+
+# Option 2: Use the new strategy pattern (more flexibility)
+from crawl4ai import DefaultTableExtraction
+
+strategy = DefaultTableExtraction(
+    table_score_threshold=7,
+    min_rows=2,  # New capability!
+    min_cols=2   # New capability!
+)
+
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_extraction=strategy
+)
+
+# Option 3: Use advanced strategies when needed
+from crawl4ai import LLMTableExtraction, LLMConfig
+
+# Only for complex tables that DefaultTableExtraction can't handle
+# Automatically handles large tables with smart chunking
+llm_strategy = LLMTableExtraction(
+    llm_config=LLMConfig(
+        provider="groq/llama-3.3-70b-versatile",
+        api_token="your_key"
+    ),
+    max_tries=3,
+    enable_chunking=True,  # Automatically chunk large tables
+    chunk_token_threshold=3000,  # Chunk when exceeding 3000 tokens
+    max_parallel_chunks=5  # Process up to 5 chunks in parallel
+)
+
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_extraction=llm_strategy  # Advanced extraction with automatic chunking
+)
+```
+
+### Summary
+
+- ✅ **No breaking changes** - Old code works as-is
+- ✅ **Same defaults** - DefaultTableExtraction is automatically used
+- ✅ **Gradual adoption** - Use new features when you need them
+- ✅ **Full compatibility** - result.tables structure unchanged
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Choose the Right Strategy (Cost-Conscious Approach)
+
+**Decision Flow**:
+```
+1. Do you need tables? 
+   → No: Use NoTableExtraction
+   → Yes: Continue to #2
+
+2. Try DefaultTableExtraction first (FREE)
+   → Works? Done! ✅
+   → Fails? Continue to #3
+
+3. Is the table critical and complex?
+   → No: Accept DefaultTableExtraction results
+   → Yes: Continue to #4
+
+4. Use LLMTableExtraction (COSTS MONEY)
+   → Small table (<50 rows): Any LLM provider
+   → Large table (50+ rows): Use Groq or Cerebras
+   → Very large (500+ rows): Reconsider - maybe chunk the page
+```
+
+**Strategy Selection Guide**:
+- **DefaultTableExtraction**: Use for 99% of cases - it's free and effective
+- **LLMTableExtraction**: Only for complex tables with merged cells that break DefaultTableExtraction
+- **NoTableExtraction**: When you only need text/markdown content
+- **Custom Strategy**: For specialized requirements (financial, scientific, etc.)
+
+### 2. Validate Extracted Data
+
+```python
+def validate_table(table):
+    """Validate table data quality."""
+    # Check structure
+    if not table.get('rows'):
+        return False
+    
+    # Check consistency
+    if table.get('headers'):
+        expected_cols = len(table['headers'])
+        for row in table['rows']:
+            if len(row) != expected_cols:
+                return False
+    
+    # Check minimum content
+    total_cells = sum(len(row) for row in table['rows'])
+    non_empty = sum(1 for row in table['rows'] 
+                    for cell in row if cell.strip())
+    
+    if non_empty / total_cells < 0.5:  # Less than 50% non-empty
+        return False
+    
+    return True
+
+# Filter valid tables
+valid_tables = [t for t in result.tables if validate_table(t)]
+```
+
+### 3. Handle Edge Cases
+
+```python
+async def robust_table_extraction(url):
+    """Extract tables with error handling."""
+    async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
+        try:
+            config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+                table_extraction=DefaultTableExtraction(
+                    table_score_threshold=6,
+                    verbose=True
+                )
+            )
+            
+            result = await crawler.arun(url, config)
+            
+            if not result.success:
+                print(f"Crawl failed: {result.error}")
+                return []
+            
+            # Process tables safely
+            processed_tables = []
+            for table in result.tables:
+                try:
+                    # Validate and process
+                    if validate_table(table):
+                        processed_tables.append(table)
+                except Exception as e:
+                    print(f"Error processing table: {e}")
+                    continue
+            
+            return processed_tables
+            
+        except Exception as e:
+            print(f"Extraction error: {e}")
+            return []
+```

+| No tables extracted | Score too high | Lower `table_score_threshold` |
+| Layout tables included | Score too low | Increase `table_score_threshold` |
+| Missing tables | CSS selector too specific | Broaden or remove `css_selector` |
+| Incomplete data | Complex table structure | Create custom strategy |
+| Performance issues | Processing entire page | Use `css_selector` to limit scope |
+
+### Debug Logging
+
+Enable verbose logging to understand extraction decisions:
+
+```python
+import logging
+
+# Configure logging
+logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
+
+# Enable verbose mode in strategy
+strategy = DefaultTableExtraction(
+    table_score_threshold=7,
+    verbose=True  # Detailed extraction logs
+)
+
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_extraction=strategy,
+    verbose=True  # General crawler logs
+)
+```

+# Migration Guide: Table Extraction v0.7.3
+
+## Overview
+
+Version 0.7.3 introduces the **Table Extraction Strategy Pattern**, providing a more flexible and extensible approach to table extraction while maintaining full backward compatibility.
+
+## What's New
+
+### Strategy Pattern Implementation
+
+Table extraction now follows the same strategy pattern used throughout Crawl4AI:
+
+- **Consistent Architecture**: Aligns with extraction, chunking, and markdown strategies
+- **Extensibility**: Easy to create custom table extraction strategies
+- **Better Separation**: Table logic moved from content scraping to dedicated module
+- **Full Control**: Fine-grained control over table detection and extraction
+
+### New Classes
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import (
+    TableExtractionStrategy,    # Abstract base class
+    DefaultTableExtraction,      # Current implementation (default)
+    NoTableExtraction           # Explicitly disable extraction
+)
+```
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+**✅ All existing code continues to work without changes.**
+
+### No Changes Required
+
+If your code looks like this, it will continue to work:
+
+```python
+# This still works exactly the same
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_score_threshold=7
+)
+result = await crawler.arun(url, config)
+tables = result.tables  # Same structure, same data
+```
+
+### What Happens Behind the Scenes
+
+When you don't specify a `table_extraction` strategy:
+
+1. `CrawlerRunConfig` automatically creates `DefaultTableExtraction`
+2. It uses your `table_score_threshold` parameter
+3. Tables are extracted exactly as before
+4. Results appear in `result.tables` with the same structure
+
+## New Capabilities
+
+### 1. Explicit Strategy Configuration
+
+You can now explicitly configure table extraction:
+
+```python
+# New: Explicit control
+strategy = DefaultTableExtraction(
+    table_score_threshold=7,
+    min_rows=2,              # New: minimum row filter
+    min_cols=2,              # New: minimum column filter
+    verbose=True             # New: detailed logging
+)
+
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_extraction=strategy
+)
+```
+
+### 2. Disable Table Extraction
+
+Improve performance when tables aren't needed:
+
+```python
+# New: Skip table extraction entirely
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_extraction=NoTableExtraction()
+)
+# No CPU cycles spent on table detection/extraction
+```
+
+### 3. Custom Extraction Strategies
+
+Create specialized extractors:
+
+```python
+class MyTableExtractor(TableExtractionStrategy):
+    def extract_tables(self, element, **kwargs):
+        # Custom extraction logic
+        return custom_tables
+
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_extraction=MyTableExtractor()
+)
+```
+
+## Migration Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: Basic Usage (No Changes Needed)
+
+**Before (v0.7.2):**
+```python
+config = CrawlerRunConfig()
+result = await crawler.arun(url, config)
+for table in result.tables:
+    print(table['headers'])
+```
+
+**After (v0.7.3):**
+```python
+# Exactly the same - no changes required
+config = CrawlerRunConfig()
+result = await crawler.arun(url, config)
+for table in result.tables:
+    print(table['headers'])
+```
+
+### Scenario 2: Custom Threshold (No Changes Needed)
+
+**Before (v0.7.2):**
+```python
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_score_threshold=5
+)
+```
+
+**After (v0.7.3):**
+```python
+# Still works the same
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_score_threshold=5
+)
+
+# Or use new explicit approach for more control
+strategy = DefaultTableExtraction(
+    table_score_threshold=5,
+    min_rows=2  # Additional filtering
+)
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_extraction=strategy
+)
+```
+
+### Scenario 3: Advanced Filtering (New Feature)
+
+**Before (v0.7.2):**
+```python
+# Had to filter after extraction
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_score_threshold=5
+)
+result = await crawler.arun(url, config)
+
+# Manual filtering
+large_tables = [
+    t for t in result.tables 
+    if len(t['rows']) >= 5 and len(t['headers']) >= 3
+]
+```
+
+**After (v0.7.3):**
+```python
+# Filter during extraction (more efficient)
+strategy = DefaultTableExtraction(
+    table_score_threshold=5,
+    min_rows=5,
+    min_cols=3
+)
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_extraction=strategy
+)
+result = await crawler.arun(url, config)
+# result.tables already filtered
+```
+
+## Code Organization Changes
+
+### Module Structure
+
+**Before (v0.7.2):**
+```
+crawl4ai/
+  content_scraping_strategy.py
+    - LXMLWebScrapingStrategy
+      - is_data_table()      # Table detection
+      - extract_table_data() # Table extraction
+```
+
+**After (v0.7.3):**
+```
+crawl4ai/
+  content_scraping_strategy.py
+    - LXMLWebScrapingStrategy
+      # Table methods removed, uses strategy
+  
+  table_extraction.py (NEW)
+    - TableExtractionStrategy    # Base class
+    - DefaultTableExtraction      # Moved logic here
+    - NoTableExtraction          # New option
+```
+
+### Import Changes
+
+**New imports available (optional):**
+```python
+# These are now available but not required for existing code
+from crawl4ai import (
+    TableExtractionStrategy,
+    DefaultTableExtraction,
+    NoTableExtraction
+)
+```
+
+## Performance Implications
+
+### No Performance Impact
+
+For existing code, performance remains identical:
+- Same extraction logic
+- Same scoring algorithm
+- Same processing time
+
+### Performance Improvements Available
+
+New options for better performance:
+
+```python
+# Skip tables entirely (faster)
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    table_extraction=NoTableExtraction()
+)
+
+# Process only specific areas (faster)
+config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+    css_selector="main.content",
+    table_extraction=DefaultTableExtraction(
+        min_rows=5,  # Skip small tables
+        min_cols=3
+    )
+)
+```
+
+## Testing Your Migration
+
+### Verification Script
+
+Run this to verify your extraction still works:
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, CrawlerRunConfig
+
+async def verify_extraction():
+    url = "your_url_here"
+    
+    async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
+        # Test 1: Old approach
+        config_old = CrawlerRunConfig(
+            table_score_threshold=7
+        )
+        result_old = await crawler.arun(url, config_old)
+        
+        # Test 2: New explicit approach
+        from crawl4ai import DefaultTableExtraction
+        config_new = CrawlerRunConfig(
+            table_extraction=DefaultTableExtraction(
+                table_score_threshold=7
+            )
+        )
+        result_new = await crawler.arun(url, config_new)
+        
+        # Compare results
+        assert len(result_old.tables) == len(result_new.tables)
+        print(f"✓ Both approaches extracted {len(result_old.tables)} tables")
+        
+        # Verify structure
+        for old, new in zip(result_old.tables, result_new.tables):
+            assert old['headers'] == new['headers']
+            assert old['rows'] == new['rows']
+        
+        print("✓ Table content identical")
+
+asyncio.run(verify_extraction())
+```
+
+## Deprecation Notes
+
+### No Deprecations
+
+- All existing parameters continue to work
+- `table_score_threshold` in `CrawlerRunConfig` is still supported
+- No breaking changes
+
+### Internal Changes (Transparent to Users)
+
+- `LXMLWebScrapingStrategy.is_data_table()` - Moved to `DefaultTableExtraction`
+- `LXMLWebScrapingStrategy.extract_table_data()` - Moved to `DefaultTableExtraction`
+
+These methods were internal and not part of the public API.
+
+## Benefits of Upgrading
+
+While not required, using the new pattern provides:
+
+1. **Better Control**: Filter tables during extraction, not after
+2. **Performance Options**: Skip extraction when not needed
+3. **Extensibility**: Create custom extractors for specific needs
+4. **Consistency**: Same pattern as other Crawl4AI strategies
+5. **Future-Proof**: Ready for upcoming advanced strategies
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: Different Number of Tables
+
+**Cause**: Threshold or filtering differences
+
+**Solution**: 
+```python
+# Ensure same threshold
+strategy = DefaultTableExtraction(
+    table_score_threshold=7,  # Match your old setting
+    min_rows=0,               # No filtering (default)
+    min_cols=0                # No filtering (default)
+)
+```
+
+### Issue: Import Errors
+
+**Cause**: Using new classes without importing
+
+**Solution**:
+```python
+# Add imports if using new features
+from crawl4ai import (
+    DefaultTableExtraction,
+    NoTableExtraction,
+    TableExtractionStrategy
+)
+```
+
+### Issue: Custom Strategy Not Working
+
+**Cause**: Incorrect method signature
+
+**Solution**:
+```python
+class CustomExtractor(TableExtractionStrategy):
+    def extract_tables(self, element, **kwargs):  # Correct signature
+        # Not: extract_tables(self, html)
+        # Not: extract(self, element)
+        return tables_list
+```
+
+## Getting Help
+
+If you encounter issues:
+
+1. Check your `table_score_threshold` matches previous settings
+2. Verify imports if using new classes
+3. Enable verbose logging: `DefaultTableExtraction(verbose=True)`
+4. Review the [Table Extraction Documentation](../core/table_extraction.md)
+5. Check [examples](../examples/table_extraction_example.py)
+
+## Summary
+
+- ✅ **Full backward compatibility** - No code changes required
+- ✅ **Same results** - Identical extraction behavior by default
+- ✅ **New options** - Additional control when needed
+- ✅ **Better architecture** - Consistent with Crawl4AI patterns
+- ✅ **Ready for future** - Foundation for advanced strategies
+
+The migration to v0.7.3 is seamless with no required changes while providing new capabilities for those who need them.
