Firefox and Chrome not working again

[itstheandre]

Well, as explained on #9 and #10 it stopped working. Even after the update. For a few hours was working and now no longer.

You have to click the page action button to read the full story. 😇

Hi @swapagarwal,

Unfortunately, I can confirm what @itstheandre says. Clicking the page action button reopens the page in a new tab, but the member's only paywall is not removed.

[itstheandre]

I did. It's really not working :/. At least for me. I'll probably debabscreeb capture when I get home +49 178 493 5615 Linkedin [https://www.linkedin.com/in/itstheandre] You can already listen to the new episode of the Pioneers Show here [https://open.spotify.com/show/556GnaAw1m54rGyUGJQk8K?si=7YLzCUbBRfCA0HTpwtQyoQ] !

What do you mean? Sign-in out medium? And signing in again? +49 178 493 5615 Linkedin [https://www.linkedin.com/in/itstheandre] You can already listen to the new episode of the Pioneers Show here [https://open.spotify.com/show/556GnaAw1m54rGyUGJQk8K?si=7YLzCUbBRfCA0HTpwtQyoQ] !

@swapagarwal I've tried signing out of medium and reupdating the extension but to no luck

[j3soon]

Hi, I can confirm this issue. Maybe try using incognito mode instead or other methods mentioned here for now.

[nicolas-b12]

Same here, doesn't work anymore...

[nicolas-b12]

Update : The method is still valid, if I copy the request as Curl, then add something like -H 'Referer: https://t.co/9mrinl90sv' it works

[KartSriv]

@swapagarwal I can also confirm that mediumship is not working.

[nicolas-b12]

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/referer-control/hnkcfpcejkafcihlgbojoidoihckciin?hl=fr can help...

[j3soon]

@nicolas-b12 Hi, can you elaborate more details on your approach?

[nicolas-b12]

Sure @j3soon I tested the trick that I used by this Chrome extension, first in curl to be sure that it works and yes, I could read the full article after downloading the page. Then I was thinking, could Chrome block now the fact that we can override the referrer ? So I took a known chrome extension that can overwrite the referrer so I set up a rule that change the referrer from medium.com to https://t.co/[somerandombase36] and it works. So the trick is totally working and something (I don't know what) is wrong in the code of this extension.

[nicolas-b12]

I found that you can't remove all the site rules, you need at least one rule by domain that you want to manipulate.

[j3soon]

Thanks @nicolas-b12 ! It's my mistake to remove those permissions. We still need them because of our singly-used background listener! I've roll backed the commit and updated both on Chrome & Firefox, try it out on v2.3.

@itstheandre Try out v2.3, It should work by clicking the button.

[swapagarwal]

Thanks @nicolas-b12 for diving into the issue! ❤️

[swapagarwal]

@itstheandre Can you confirm it's working for you now?

[gonz4lex]

Hi @swapagarwal ,

I can confirm it works on my side (Chrome) whenever clicking the action button, and for domains other than medium.com, i.e. towardsdatascience.com and itnext.io.

Great job from your side guys!

[itstheandre]

@swapagarwal good on firefox :)

[nicolas-b12]

@swapagarwal @j3soon you're welcome, all credits to you ! You did an amazing job !
