Bibliogram / Instagram support #5

Closed jakob11git closed 3 years ago

jakob11git commented 3 years ago

https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect already has it, so would be nice to get it.

This was one of our initial goals, but unfortunately we've determined it's not possible to implement currently.

Simon Brazell's project uses the webRequest.onBeforeRequest API to intercept requests before they're sent and modify them to go to frontends like Bibliogram. Safari's limited support for the onBeforeRequest API means that we can't do this, so we have to redirect users as soon as the page loads.

Instagram, however, immediately redirects to a login page when trying to view a post from the desktop – and we can't redirect to Bibliogram before that happens.

Obviously, we'll keep our eye out for any changes in this area.

Understandable. Thanks for the fast reaction to my issue.

(Btw, the TLS certificate that the webserver reachable on https://smmr.software serves has been invalid for a week now.)

Tbh I am bored at school, and I'm so happy to have people interacting with a project of mine.

I've been looking into that for the past few days. Just figured it out, should be fixed now.

Instagram does not immediately redirect to a login page for me. Did they change this recently? If so, Instagram support should now be possible. (Though Bibliogram is kinda spotty due to Facebook blocking instances...)
