Use proxy links from a provider for the websites, ensure availability

Open eggplantedd opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

The assumedly fixed URLs for the websites do not connect for me.

I use a service such as unblockit https://twitter.com/thepirateproxy?lang=en which will either give a proxy link, or link to a website listing properties.

I wonder if routing through a continually refreshed proxy could be implemented to this extension.

Sorry for the late response, I will look into it.

From what I've looked up, unblockit doesn't have any API, so the only alternatives will be to either scrapte the webpage, or set them statically and update the URL's manually.

Hi, no worries on getting back to me. I would prefer an active webpage scrape, updating URLs manually will be too much cat and mouse, and you'd have to check through all the service providers to see if the links worked.
