extension-save-to-pocket VS WebKit

Paywalls are annoying in daily browsing (more in the weekends and mornings!).

https://archive.is/ is great but one thing I noticed is that not play nicely with content extraction services such as https://getpocket.com/ and I think it is more about Pocket recognizing the Archive Today service than other thing.

Google Translate is an alternative that currently works with content readers. Basically the hack is to just not use the translation at all putting the same language in the language origin and destination.

as the title says, twitter and getpocket.com is not working properly in guest window when shield (aggressive mode) is "ON". if I off the shield then the website works properly. I am using latest version of brave browser on windows 10. I don't know its just me or anything else or the these two websites having some problems.

For longer articles, I really like reading with Pocket. This is going to sound like an ad, but it's an app/website made by the same non-profit foundation that makes Firefox. It lets you save articles, restart from where you left off, it tell you approximately how long (in minutes of reading time) the article is, it syncs between your devices, when you save it usually gets your around soft paywalls like the New Yorker's, it saves offline so you can read on the plane or subway. It strips away all the extraneous stuff like ads so it just shows you the article (sometimes it strips away useful things too, like pictures, for what it's worth). You can sign up for their emails and it's the only organization's email I'm happy I signed up for. They send you one email a day with a curated list of the most saved articles on the site. It's great, especially for long articles!

Use getpocket.com to bypass paywalls

Yeah. I've resorted now to using https://getpocket.com for individual chapters on my Kobo. Not really happy about it.

Another work around that works on 95% of sites: Use Pocket (getpocket.com) and save it to pocket. You will be able to read it there.

Other services include Pocket and Mozilla VPN.

I've got a Kobo ereader, and it supports syncing with a pocket account.

Multiple engineers are working on adding it back: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed...

Since 2023 Chrome announced the View Transition API, and it looks like Safari is also going to support it soon.

One heap per type.

Here’s an allocator optimized for that use case.

To use this in Bun, you’d have to start Bun with the environment variable “BUN_JSC_useDollarVM=1” and then $vm.createBuiltin(mySourceCodeString)

When using this intrinsic, if any of the arguments are incorrect or it cannot otherwise enable it, the entire process will probably crash. In debug builds of JSC it will have a nicer assertion failure but that is not enabled in release builds

Example code: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/17351231b4dedb62d81721...

also happy to answer any questions about Bun

Ah, good, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of the Chrome Devtools Protocol! (fka Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol)

I love this API for almost everything browser related. I built my RBI product atop this (BrowserBox: https://dosyago.com), and I think it's a drastically underrated API.

Also, it works out of the box in Edge, Brave, Chromium, and many parts of CRDP are supported by Firefox and Safari^1

No, it's unrelated.

It's being worked on now: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/17320

It is different. The cross-site navigation flag is a couple of years old. It was enabled by default for iOS in November 2018 for example https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/commit/e191fc8c412850cb9fd0...
