The fact that this works by exploiting AMP is delicious.
Can you explain? I'm not sure how to Google that.
Google pushed this AMP thing to make pages load faster but via them as a powergrab so using amp to archive articles is using the system against itself if you squint real hard and oversimplify the various actors in the situation.
Not a recommendation for this fork of the extension, just the first I found googling.

Really slick!
There's a weird "Cloudflare" captcha on that site. I can't get past that either. :)

Oh well… the article probably hasn't anything useful or important to say anyway. Time to move on.

Sorry what does the magnolia thing mean?
That’s making me sign in?
i signed in only to find that link 404s (which makes sense for why it asked to sign in, in the first place)
Use your words.
