Nitter.it is back online. I was disappointed but not surprised when the service (a non-JavaScript Twitter feed) was taken down 'for legal reasons' only a few weeks after I first heard about it, and very surprised when it turned out to be back up again yesterday!
It clearly isn't rendering on NetSurf entirely the way the site designers intended - see https://nitter.it/riscos for some really messed up layout and links that all point to the same tweet from September 2021 when you click on them - but it *is* free of the artificial must-have-JavaScript ban on the original Twitter site. The browser is at liberty to download the content and render it as well as it can, instead of just being blocked outright. And it works as a plug-in replacement for any Twitter URLs being quoted on news sites: simply take the original link and edit the 'twitter.com' URL to read 'nitter.it' in order to find out what was actually said, and the replies. e.g. https://t.co/kc4LE2HUWm turns out to translate to https://nitter.it/inrng/status/1534419583049818115?s=20&t=2ceELTSar4nSRCpFEx-TJg with a pretty picture. -- Harriet Bazley == Loyaulte me lie == The only rose without thorns is friendship. _______________________________________________ netsurf-users mailing list -- netsurf-users@netsurf-browser.org To unsubscribe send an email to netsurf-users-le...@netsurf-browser.org
