This appeared to be a Chrome thing: [WayBack] Jeroen Pluimers at Twitter: “@wordpressdotcom not sure what goes wrong with billing, but the printed html has odd domain characters. The viewed HTML is OK, but I cannot print that because printing garbles it. I can DM you the receipt links. Similar for the date which becomes unreadable (the IRS dislikes it).…”

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).
The cool things about the “Request Feedback” were these:

tl;dr: Finding event handlers registered using jQuery can be tricky. findHandlersJS makes finding them easy, all you need is the event type and a jQuery selector for the elements where the events might originate.
I need to invest some time in using this: [WayBack] Quickly finding and debugging jQuery event handlers with findHandlersJS – The Blinking Caret

Most of my browser life is in Chrome, but the memory consumption and CPU usage has increased so much over time so it, err, become less than optimal.
Given the new FireFox is supposed to use far less memory and CPU than previous FireFox versions, I want to try it, but since so much of my Chrome life is about Chrome Extensions, I was glad to discover [WayBack] Chrome Store Foxified
Enables the Google Chrome Store and Opera Addons Website for Firefox. Point and click to install Opera/Chrome extensions straight into Firefox.

Some inspiration for writing a proper bookmarklet that finds or saves a WayBack machine page:
On the last link, I was hoping that the https://web.archive.org/liveweb/https://www.example.org would work but it doesn’t work for many URLs and I’m not sure yet why that is.

I totally agree with [WayBack] To every site out there asking me to whitelist them from my adblocker: No. – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+
To every site out there asking me to whitelist them from my adblocker: No.
Why I am running an Adblocker. Also, it does not matter any more what you do. Running an Adblocker is a necessity because of the things below.
“No exceptions”.
Because it’s over – it may be your site that is better, but I don’t care any more.
Just running an Adblocker, revoking JS and Plugin privileges, and blocking third party bullshit everywhere, because that’s a secure default and a significant cognitive simplification.
The group you are part of, if you want it or not, made that necessary. It’s the world your people created. You will have to live in it, no matter how much of an exception your site is.
