fixed in latest version

The workaround for this was to get the meta tags outside the browser context and then construct the link message manually. Instead of integrating another dependency for something that most people might not need, I decided to deploy a new api (on me) which grabs the link preview details.

You can choose to deploy your own (which I would prefer you do to save me some money) via Config.linkParser

Just F.Y.I, via the centralized default link parser API, I can see your links. So just for security, you should deploy your own anyways.
