Oh nice! Seems like "send articles to Kindle" is its main selling point?
122.
by phgn 4y ago
Nice! Interestingly I had the opposite goal -- uncluttered articles should still have the same URLs. It makes total sense for sharing!

There is a context menu entry ("Open link with Unclutter")! It might just be buried in the list if you have a lot of extensions?

Is this the same extension as https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome ? I've been using the latter for years now too. It still doesn't work with hard paywalls like the ones on economist.com or wsj

Thank you Vladimir, this means a lot coming from you! I definitely can, tracking this in https://github.com/lindylearn/unclutter/issues/570

I've heard this request before, and it's also required for a web-based version of the extension. It requires a bit of code restructuring but hopefully it can get done! https://github.com/lindylearn/unclutter&#

Thanks for trying it! Is there anything that could work better?

I believe they want to support Chrome extensions natively, but maybe that's not ready yet. Unclutter is not installable from the extension store right now. I'm not sure what we can do, but let's track Orion support for Unclut

Another suggestion I heard in this thread is Safari mobile support. With covering both Firefox & Safari this makes a lot more sense to work on. No guarantees though :) See https://github.com/lindylearn/unclutter&#x2

Thank you for saying that! :)

Thank you for the feedback, I'm glad it resonates! I'm already working on both of your suggestions, hopefully this will be possible within the next 2 weeks :)

It is good enough for many people and readability.js is re-used in many other projects. I'm really grateful for it. Unclutter just produces more visually pleasing results by keeping the original style of the website intact. Here's

by phgn 4y ago
I believe that is the number of installs in active browsers, not how often people interact with the extension (which is much lower).
134.
by phgn 4y ago
Yep, there are lots of ways to do something similar. Reader modes are also built into Safari & Firefox directly.
135.
by phgn 4y ago
Makes sense! Let me know if you want to try implementing this :) How would you expose the setting in the extension UI?
136.
by phgn 4y ago
Not an edge case, I've been tracking this for a while: https://github.com/lindylearn/unclutter/issues/13 Someone else in this thread suggested a version for mobile Safari which made supporting this even

I just added .mp4 fallbacks, thanks for the tip!

I just lowered the scroll threshold on mobile, does that help? The problem is that the example videos auto-play and can be quite distracting if they're visible by default.
140.
by phgn 4y ago
Do the videos auto-play for you when they appear? I made the bad decision of hand-coding the landing page in React, this is the result of it :)

by phgn 4y ago
Do you use bookmarks right now, and have you tried manual tagging? I believe Pocket premium has AI-suggested article tags. Maybe something similar makes sense for Unclutter, but I'm not sure of the demand for it.
142.
by phgn 4y ago
Yep, but extensions still have to adopt the more restrictive permissions.
143.
by phgn 4y ago
Hey thank you! I'm really glad you like the extension. There actually is an "auto-activate" feature you can enable in the settings. Is this what you had in mind? Regarding mobile support, I know. I'm not sure how to hand

by phgn 4y ago
Tagging for what specifically? What would you use the tags for? I actually experimented with article topic-prediction for a few months, but assignment errors were annoying and it was not clear if it's useful at all.
145.
by phgn 4y ago
It's possible for extensions to only get access when you activate it for a specific tab. If you want Unclutter to work this way you can manually set "Site access" to "On click" in the Chrome extension settings (this

Yep there is usage reporting (which features people use), but it never includes the sites or domains you visit. Beyond the project being open-source, it's also bundled so the production code is a readable as possible for you to verify

Have you used other services that summarise articles? What would be the workflow? Do you want to read the summary instead of the article, use it to decide whether to read, or something else?
148.
by phgn 4y ago
Do you mean the example videos with the text next to them? Or the 2 rows of images at the very bottom of the page? They are .webm and .webp. Which browser & browser version are you using?
149.
by phgn 4y ago
It's an intended side effect. The paywall banners are also just clutter to remove from the DOM, often the entire text is still there. Technically, messing with paywalls is forbidden for Chrome extensions listed in the webstore (and det

by phgn 4y ago
Thank you! Admittedly, paywall-busting doesn't work as well with Unclutter as with the text-extraction methods. But it's still effective for most sites and there are custom tweaks e.g. for nytimes.com. I'm thinking about impr
