An interesting take a while ago on [Wayback] Archive.is blog — People often compare various features of…
People often compare various features of archive.is to those of archive.org being mistaken by name similarity (and recently added “save a page” function to archive.org).
This project is different in at least two respects:
- We have no goal to save the entire Internet. Only manually submitted pages which may be deleted/altered soon. We are about 100x smaller than archive.org in the storage space (700TB vs. 70PB) and expenses (X,000 $/mo vs. X00,000 $/mo).
- The pages are not saved in their network form. Archive.today launches real browsers (not even headless) and tries to load lazy images, unroll folded content, login into accounts if prompted with login form, remove “subscribe our maillist” modals, … So archive.today is not suitable for making notarized or digitally signed snapshots.
It would be more correct to compare it with other thread unrollers.
The RSS feed of blog.archive.today is at blog.archive.today/rss

Besides manual upload at [Archive.is] Upload to Internet Archive, there are also automated ways of uploading content.
One day I need this to archive pages or sites into the WayBack machine: [WayBack] Overview of Client Libraries · Internet Archive (most of which is Python based):

Cool feature I discovered from [WayBack] How to read network requests in Chrome for new tab or popup window:
chrome://net-internals/#events
It will immediately show all events from all tabs including networking events.
The red bar at the top has a drop down on the right where you can stop them and perform a few other actions.
During or after capture, you can select relevant requests from the list (through checkboxes) so the right of the pane gets their info (which is a lot: not just the request/response content including all headers and cookies, but also any delegates from extensions and their results).

If you find out bookmarklets like the [WayBack] Press-This or [Archive.is] SubToMe do not work on some pages but to on others.
Often it’s not the bookmarklet, but a combination the site disabling CSP (Content Security Policy) and browsers not coping well with that, see for instance:
via:

I wrote about bookmarklets before, but more from a usage perspective, not from a programmers one.
From what I understand now is that:
- bookmarklets are basically a special form of URI
- you can use JavaScript in them, but must make sure you do not interfere with existing JavaScript on the page
javascript:(function(){ window.open('https://wiert.me/'); })();
- the URI has limits so,
- browsers can have length restrictions (some around 500 characters) forcing you to put the actual script on-line as externalised bookmarklet (which won’t work on body-less pages)
- you will have to encode special characters (and URI decode them before beautifying existing JavaScript bookmarklets)
My first tries will likely be:

Too bad, as it was fun while it lasted:
Even worse: the change was not announced, so people find out after the fact. A similar thing happened back in the “Press This” removal process (which got restored).
Some notes on “The WordPress bookmarklet was deprecated. Please delete it from your web browser.” because the `/wp-admin/press-this.php` based URLs look very similar.
The cool things about the “Request Feedback” were these:

Good news the Press-This bookmarklet on WordPress.com has been reinstated.
See https://github.com/WordPress/press-this/pull/29 and the discussions in these below threads and sources.
Solves issues:
- #12 – Add text domains
- #15 – Restore Bookmarklet Functionality
