I tried to use the Chrome extension to read a Spanish website but it doesn't work unless I enable 3rd party cookies. That's quite rude. I cannot allow a single extension to compromise my browsing experience by letting anyone set 3rd party cookies.

Could you please add a field on the site where I could paste the URL of a webpage? That would work for me as a workaround to using the extension.

I understand where you're coming from, but it's for purely technical reasons. The extension just plain wouldn't work without this enabled.

I avoided the "paste a URL" solution because that would mean that my server would need to fetch the content from other websites instead of each user's browser doing the work.

Until I have a better solution, for now you could resort to copying and pasting articles you'd like to read into the upload page: http://readlang.com/upload - it's not ideal perhaps, but should get the job done.
