- kmfrk 16y agoNot exactly. If you haven't read about it, Readability (Arc90) has a new subscription model[1]. That's the point of contention. (Not that it's any less stupid.) [1]: https://www.readability.com/learn-more https://www.readability.com/learn-more
- iPhone1 16y agoI know about the subscription model; I'm a subscriber.
- panacea 16y agoI could be wrong, but I don't think Apple actually used their technology, but rather implemented a similar feature into desktop Safari.
- maguay 16y agoActually, if you look in the Safari 5 credits, you'll find reference to the original Readability script. Here's the official Readability (arc90) blog post about it: http://blog.arc90.com/2010/06/10/why-we-built-readability/ http://blog.arc90.com/2010/06/10/why-we-built-readability/
