Fallback to "dirty" link if it means the link is alive #9

Closed JaneJeon closed 1 year ago

JaneJeon commented 2 years ago

This shouldn't be an issue for most links, but I want to be safe and not strip trackers from links (and ignore completeProvider) if it means the link is alive.

Why? Because the normalization shouldn't throw unless the link itself is dead, no matter how many times we try to resuscitate it...

And we should check whether the "dirty" link is even alive.
