Hi, the bookmarklet to save a url to Newsblur does not work anymore. It opens as expected but when clicking “Save this story”, I always get “Sorry, but there was an error trying to save this story.”. I tried adding the bookmarklet again in case it was updated but problem is still there.
On another note, is there any other way to save a URL found on the net to read later in Newsblur without going through the bookmarklet ??? I can’t find a way to do this directly in Newsblur. I would expect to be able to click on “Saved stories” and have some kind of add menu there directly.
Yeah it’s not working on YT but I don’t know if I’ll be able to fix it. You can subscribe to the YT feed in NewsBlur and then re-share that way, but I know it’s not ideal.
That’s what I usually do. Hence why I have all my “To watch later” youtube videos in Newsblur. So when I stumble upon one I’d like to save, I want to save it also in Newsblur and not Youtube playlist.
Thanks anyway for having looked into this, thought I was crazy being the only one with this problem.
Looks like Youtube us using something called Trusted Types API. It’s meant to protect against cross site scripting. The bookmarklet is trying to insert a script but since the URL of that script hasn’t been set up as trusted it can’t.
No idea if you can add a trusted script in the bookmarklet but probably no, feels like that would render they whole thing moot if so.
Might need an extension or userscript to work around.
The answer would be to build a browser extension instead of a bookmarklet. It’s been on the priority list since forever but I haven’t moved it up since it’s such a niche use case.
