I still don't get it. Every page I try to contextify (wat) is looking like pasted in a 1999 WYSIWYG editor. How do you all get the correct styling etc with you?

I still don't get it. Every page I try to contextify (wat) is looking like pasted in a 1999 WYSIWYG editor. How do you all get the correct styling etc with you? I'm using Firefox with uBlock and Disconnect. Example page: https://www.golem.de/ticker/ https://www.golem.de/ticker/ - I tried to copy some listed links but they just look like standard Times New Roman after contextification: https://ctxt.io/2/AAAAAPxhEA https://ctxt.io/2/AAAAAPxhEA Anyway, nice idea. I have ever used screenshots so far.

I believe ctxt.io requires Chrome extension to work properly. It does seam like a good method for sharing web pages, but, as I too use Firefox, not the thing for me (for now).

  It doesn't. It works well for me (using Chrome 56.0.2924.87) and I don't have the extension.

Same. Something is broken. Also using FireFox...

Yep, discovered Firefox doesn't copy styles the same way as other webkit-based browsers like Chrome/Safari. Working on a Firefox extension which will solve all this, but even that has been a ton of quirks to deal with. 7% of my visitors used FF, 20% Safari and 66% Chrome, so I think my prioritization so far made sense. Will keep you posted on an FF extension.

  Wow, didn't know that the usage of Firefox is that low. Thanks for clarification - makes sense.

Yeah strangely Firefox has these design decisions on how to handle copying out styles (doesn't pick up from stylesheets unlike Webkit): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116083#c3 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116083#c3 https://github.com/textAngular/textAngular/issues/534 https://github.com/textAngular/textAngular/issues/534 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1273836 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1273836 Firefox extension or the bookmarklets on https://ctxt.io/faq https://ctxt.io/faq would solve this and the former should be out soon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/context-ctxt-io/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/context-ctxt-...

  Oh, an extension already :) Excellent. Although, at this moment, my Firefox (52.0.1 on GNU/Linux) says the extension cannot be installed because it is faulty what ever that might mean.

    The extension needs to be reviewed by Mozilla and signed unfortunately. 80% get done within 5 days but unclear if this will be the case here. Meanwhile you can use the bookmarklets at https://ctxt.io/faq https://ctxt.io/faq but those won't work on CORS/CSP restricted sites.
