I am a subscriber to the NY Review of Books, so I get access to the full text of their articles when I sign in to the website. The Instatpaper bookmarklet is smart enough to know this and correctly saves the full article in my Instapaper account. However, the Instachrome extension does not, only giving me the portion of the article viewable if I wasn't signed in to NYbooks.com.

This is weird, because instachrome does use the same API that the bookmarklet uses. Which means both sends a request with the url to Instapaper and its backend handles the save of the page.

I also get this with Ars Technica. Bookmarklet works, Instachrome doesn't. I'll look through the Instachrome code and see if I can figure it out.
