Not working on lots of news sites?

[dmil]

Thanks for making this great plugin! I was hoping to use it to grab titles from news sites that I plan to read, but I'm realizing it's not always working for news articles, even when a <title> tag is present. I'm not totally sure what the issue is or how to debug a LogSeq plugin, but here are a few examples of where I found it doesn't work.

works on:

• https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-my-fitness-tracker-turned-me-against-myself/

doesn't work on:

• https://www.axios.com/2020/10/01/google-will-spend-1-billion-to-pay-publishers-for-news-showcase
• https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/05/11/ukraine-us-intelligence-sharing-war/

Thanks again!

I'll investigate. Thanks for giving some sample links. One thing I found is that it doesn't work for Twitter because it "requires" JavaScript so it might be something similar.

I just checked. https://awilkinson.medium.com/the-power-of-anti-goals-c38f5f46d23c is the only one it doesn't work on for me, and that has a <title> element of <title data-rh="true".. I can fix this one pretty easily.

It should be better now. Can you check? (fixed in c027779)

Hi, tried the latest release but still fails to work for the following link : https://leetcode.com/problems/n-queens/
It resolves as [Loading...](https://leetcode.com/problems/n-queens/)

That's because the site uses JavaScript to update the title. This extension right now can't run JS on those pages

Worked great on all three of the ones I had initially cited. Thank you!!!
