DreamWeaver2500 24 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 First of all if I posted this in the wrong place apologies. Next, I'm on Chromebook and using only the online version, I cannot "install" anything. My question is, does Web Clipper not work on certain pages? It is working on other pages but not when I try to clip this page: https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/afghanistan-war-neocons-george-w-bush-would-you-know-isn-ncna1277267 Click the green elephant and nothing happens. I've disabled and re-enabled it, and get message "this page needs to be reloaded before you can clip it", reload page and again same result. Thanks. Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,059 Posted December 7, 2021 Evernote Expert Share Posted December 7, 2021 I don't know about this specific site but some block web clipping. For example my bank prevents the use of screen shots which also affects the web clipper. Could that be the issue? What about other pages from nbcnews.com? 2 Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,054 Posted December 7, 2021 Level 5* Share Posted December 7, 2021 Clipper's not a 100% solution - sometimes I get around this issue on random pages by using the browser features to 'print' the page to PDF and attach that file to a note; others by copy/ paste / alternative page grabbers like Nimbus screenshot etc. etc... 1 Link to comment

Same result with articles from nbcnews.com -- would someone else not using Chrome OS try to use Web Clipper on that site and advise? Link to comment

Yes, I get around it by just using copy and paste, but Web Clipper has somewhat spoiled me in that it's so doggone easy. 1 Link to comment

Looks like I can clip that content without problems - all options appear available in Chrome-based Brave: simplified / article / page / clip. 1 Link to comment

OK thanks. Appears the results for using Evernote Web Clipper vary between Windows OS and Chrome OS then or did I misinterpret? 1 Link to comment

No clue. I'm on Windows, you're on Chrome - but we're both on a Chrome browser... so I dunno. That's a Support question... 1 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,772 Posted December 7, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Tried on Mac, Safari: No problem, standard clipping, clip appears after a short wait in EN v10.26 Mac. It is however not a „nice“ website, the clip contains a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with the content, but a lot with how this page is selling you ads while having your attention to it. I think that probably some of this stuff creates the problem - because the dynamic content of the ads will change while you have the page open. Sometimes I have had this reloading problem myself. Occasionally it helps to reload, sometimes it helps to switch into reader mode, sometimes I am forced to clip using a different tool. It is not WebClipper, it it the weird world of modern websites that kills the experience. But this page, as posted above, was working pretty well when clipped. 1 Link to comment

So it's working on other OSs but on Chrome OS, even with all extensions disabled, nothing happens when click the elephant. This is interesting, been using Clipper a whole lot over several years and haven't run into this before! 1 Link to comment
