- Kye 3y agoIt probably nudges the crawler to come rather than sending the page. If it's private, the crawler won't be able to see it.

It is definitely not archiving some Facebook pages I've been browsing (that I would actually like to archive). It's only been capturing the login screen or an error about abusing the site.
- guraf 3y agoIt doesn't share your cookies, that probably stops almost any leak. Then probably rules to filter out legacy ?sessid= ?sID=. Other than that I imagine it leaks things like /bank/account/id/75795 but the crawler will drop it when it returns a 40X.
