☐ Hide [+] When No Results: _found_ results maybe be hidden until after the box to hide _no_ results is checked ☑ then un-checked ☐

Firefox 88.0.1

https://drewdevault.com/2021/04/26/Cryptocurrency-is-a-disaster.html for example, I do get a result when I use Newsit in isolation, in a test profile.

Since I don't know when, I no longer get results in my heavily extended default profile. There's no icon, of any sort, after actively checking a page.

Please, what type of extension might be in conflict?

Can I methodically identify a conflict without disabling ranges of extensions?

Chromium 90.0.4430.93

The same symptom, no icon after clicking Check Current Page.

I have fewer extensions with Chromium.

If there is an extensions conflict, maybe it'll be useful to tell what (a) my default profile and (b) Chromium have in common …

Hi @grahamperrin,

Unfortunately I can't determine what is conflicting from that information.

I would recommend switching off extensions one by one in the manage extensions section in chrome, then seeing which ones block the newsit content icons.

Also, I like those articles, very interesting read and discussions!

Let me know how you go and I can see how to fix it. Cheers, Ben

I'm no longer certain of an extensions conflict.

Chromium 90.0.4430.212 (Official Build) (64-bit) on FreeBSD CURRENT-14.0 with Newsit 2.0.4 alone enabled:

• nothing appears after clicking Check Current Page.

Thanks for responding and trying that. It doesn't seem to be the versioning or OS, rather a bug in Newsit when some options are enabled.

It can be replicated like this (video below)

The "Hide [+] when no results" seems to be broken, I'll try and fix it in the next few days.

Cheers, Ben

Thanks!

If it helps to diagnose a root cause, it's likely that I never opted to hide no results in Chromium:

• generally, I'd never need the option (because I never allow automated checks)
• I might have added the extension to Chromium solely for the purpose of diagnosing this issue.

Hmm. Two examples.

https://drewdevault.com/2021/04/26/Cryptocurrency-is-a-disaster.html

• I can work around the issue in my default Firefox profile, with scores of other extensions enabled ☑
• I can work around in Chromium, with most extensions re-enabled that were temporarily disabled for test purposes ☑

• I can work around in my default Firefox profile ☑
• I can not yet work around in Chromium, and disabling all other extensions does not help.

For myself, I'm not bothered by the edge case (if that's what it is) in Chromium.

Hi @grahamperrin, Should be fixed in version 2.0.5 currently being deployed. Let me know if there's any issues. Cheers, Ben
