- Rated 1 out of 5by DaveS, 8 months agoI never received a reCAPTCHA. Still blocked from accessing the WSJ.
Reverting to an earlier version resolved the issue. Thank you.
As of 10/24/23, the previous version is no longer working for the Wall Street Journal. I no longer have access.Developer response
posted 8 months agoThank you -- that has not been my experience with the Add-On and I cannot recreate the behavior you are seeing. Regardless, I have reverted to a previous version in hopes it resolves the issue for you.
[ Comment added 10/28/2023 -- I believe the WSJ made a change to their site that broke functionality. Webpage captures after 10/24 do not appear to work, I've informed the Archive.Today Webmaster and addressed it in version 2.8. Hopefully the issue will be corrected shortly. Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. ] Developer response
posted 8 months agoThank you -- an endless loop of a Google reCAPTCHA is an issue with Google reCAPTCHA and not the archive.today service nor this Add-On. The archive.today service requires Google reCAPTCHA to prevent abuse of its service. I suggest trying again from different WiFi location or VPN server. Or perhaps allowing cookies if they are blocked (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer#w_cookie-settings) or clearing your cache (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache).
[ Comment added 10/6/2023 -- Another reviewer experienced difficulty with The Wall Street Journal as well. Although I cannot reproduce the behavior you are seeing, I have reverted to a previous version to resolve the issue for you. ]- Rated 5 out of 5by NORD, a year agoWoah, it actually worked—it just created the page and boom, gated information was unshackled and set free, right before my eyes. Well, consider me impressed. Nice work!
