Even when I‘m logged out I expect at least information on my geographical location to seep into the archive via URLs addressing specific CDN endpoints or similar mechanisms.
- nikisweeting 2y agoYup, this is why the ArchiveBox browser extension sends URLs to a separate server for archiving with an isolated burner profile. I should write a full article on the security implications at some point, there aren't many good top-down explanations of why this is a hard problem.
- ashildr 2y agoI know it’s a lot of work but this would be great and it may give readers a deeper understanding into security in general.
- ninalanyon 2y agoHow does it save pages that are only available when you are logged in such as social networking pages?
- nikisweeting 2y agoYou set up a chrome profile for archiving that's logged into all the sites you want to save. I recommend using burner accounts dedicated to archiving, so you'd have to add them to any private pages/groups you want to archive. It is possible to use your main account for archiving but there are security risks (you cant share the snapshots without leaking session headers).
- pbronez 2y agoThat’s a very cool solution- gives the user explicit control
