Never heard of txtify. Amazing

Seems like the NYT found a way to fuck with archive.is. There’s a gigantic overlay blocking a ton of the content.

Boo.

It is an SVG loading indicator that's broken when embedded on the archive page, nothing to do with NYT trying to obfuscate archival tools.

How would you know? Seems pretty likely based on how companies try to enshitify the web.

Looking at the code, there is nothing malignant going on, it's simply a common CSS + SVG bug. Most people wouldn't know how to intentionally write this so that it breaks on one page, but works on the other. Occam's razor etc.

install uBlock Origin, block content element, it’s gone (until they change things to not match the selector anyway)
