A tip for those who wish to read news articles from poorly-coded websites that do not work in Pale Moon
A number of popular news outlets have websites that are poorly coded and are Chrome-centric, and therefore unfortunately do not display properly (if at all!) in Pale Moon.
If any of you ever run into that situation, there is a simple workaround: put the link through www.printfriendly.com.
In my experience, that will in most cases allow one to read the article.

The link you posted is not formatted correctly for this forum, it added the forum address to the link.

Another solution is to use a backup browser for those pesky news sites (and other non news sites) such as Waterfox (my backup browser), Firefox, Vivaldi, Brave, Chrome, or Edge.Tharthan wrote: ↑2023-04-02, 19:48A number of popular news outlets have websites that are poorly coded and are Chrome-centric, and therefore unfortunately do not display properly (if at all!) in Pale Moon.

I have a crazy cool workaround to read news on shitty websites:
1) Install Pale Moon/Basilisk & amfora/Lagrange browser
2) copy your favourite site's url or rss feed url
3) Go to the gemini://gemi.dev/cgi-bin/waffle.cgi/ and paste it into the box "Enter your own favourite news site", press enter
4) Bookmark freshly converter gemini news site from html
Win, this is how New Scientist looks on amfora

I like mirroring in Archive Today for sites which refuse to render in Pale Moon without scripts. RecordRewind exists to ease this, but I find keeping Archive Today in my bookmark bar is easy enough access.

Am I the only one who wishes that online news articles would consistently provide direct links to whatever primary source has told them whatever it is they are reporting? As of now, I am trying to find some Hungarian minister’s blog to check a Reuters claim.

Off-topic:
I additionally wish that, whenever a court case is brought up or a reference is made to some document relating to a legal case (ex. a brief), links would be included to the actual documents.
Some news publications do include links for such things, but not all of them. And when a particular story is not the most widely reported of stories, it can sometimes take a while searching before I end up finding the actual document in question.
I imagine that laws relating to legal documents vary from nation to nation, but at least where I live, those documents are usually available to the public for reading assuming that one knows certain basic information about the case in question.
No, you are certainly not the only one.
