  1. 7.17.0 7.15.0 (only tested 7.15.0 but 7.16.0 or Older might work) Web Clipper versions work with current browser. Dramatic change in Web Clipper CRX size from 7.15.0 to 7.16. I think Evernote has been fiddling and breaking things. Which probably means they should have been more careful or picked it up in regression testing. I guess they will learn from this as I have ... but this failure is costing me time & lost productivity to fix mis clipped pages and a backlog of 200 research web clips over the 3 weeks since i noticed the issue! I think the actually time of breaking is probably more coincidental with a browser update which might have forced an extension update to 7.18.0 which is why people are seeing dramatically different date of when they began to be affected. If it was the browser and a long term issue, 7.17.0 probably should not work too. [edit] My work around for keeping a backlog of webpages to clip. I am moving my page to clip into a tab group. You can use Tabox to save a snapshot so or Tab-Snap to save open URLs to clipboard and then text file you can then close tabs. I prefer Tab-Snap as you can then cut and paste like 10 URLs at a time into a New Window and then clip them without maxing out memory or mucking up your current browser open tabs too much
  2. Fair cop. But they could have rolled back. Advised users. Anticipated the problem better. All things I would have thought Evernote should do to avoid a cornerstone of their product not failing completely but almost silently incorrectly clipping the hyperlinks in a webpage. I am not sure about other users but I was not checking every webpage link. Until now ... Now I just dread Evernote failing in some other unknown way. eg the remvoal the classic web interface in the same way they just dumped the really old but good web interface without any notification. I know they cannot be everything for everyone but how much thought or effort does it take to not alienate the few when they are already giving of themselves to use Evernote? Evernote has asked for our patience as they have a plan ... not 100% sure what that is but prioritising new feature and breaking working features is really trying worn out my patience and good will to zero. The shortest revision cycle for the web clipper since 2020 I could find was between 3 and 19 Nov 2021. Hope it wont be the longest ....9.5 months. with Evernote not giving any indication as to when this will be fixed apart from the next release. At least I now have a backup of my browser extensions and a method to roll back to previous versions ... so I guess I have learned something :>
  3. 10 Jan 2022. email from my Evernote team contact. Only thing that is helpful for was to confirm its time to look for another solution.
  4. Can you please advise how you did this or some links to resources to let me do this? Thanks. [edit] I used this guide and Web Clipper 7.15.0 CRX. Web Clipper 7.17.0. Probably not the worlds best security idea ... so use at your own risk and discretion. [edit 20220122 164300] 7.17.0 still has the bug but different. 7.15.0 is okay i think, I removed Web Clipper 7.18.0 via Extensions Manager. Unzipped the Webcliper 7.15.0 CRX using WinRAR into a folder. Changed the CRX manifest.json update URL to http://localhost Manually load 7.15.0 from the unzipped folder using Load Upacked in Extensions Manager The 7.17.0 Web Clipper seemed to remember i was logged in ... so perhaps not as much of a security risk as I first thought. You will need to refresh pages (or restart your browser) to enable Webclipper. This solution works on my up to date browsers as of 21 Jan 2022; Microsoft Edge Version 97.0.1072.62 (Official build) (64-bit) Brave Version 1.34.80 Chromium: 97.0.4692.71 (Official Build) (64-bit) FYI. The CRX files significantly reduced in size from 7.16 to 7.17. A refactor of code perhaps ?
  5. I am glad you understand the problem. This is Evernotes job. They have a product that relies on browser to work ... Chromium is used on at least 3 browsers I use and has a clear development and beta testing programs whish should have highlighted the impending problem. Regardless of the reason. A whole month of web clipper incorrectly documenting webpages ... which is a pretty core function of a web clipper in my opinion and only notification of the fault was from the users really does not meet my expectations of a professional response for an application with millions of users and hundreds of employees. At best this should have been an overnight fix. At worst a week. But no action for a month? Not even rolling back to a working version!
  6. This is a show stopping bug. A note taking app that incorrectly copies web notes! It took me a week to notice as you just assume it works. Core functionality broken for close to a MONTH. I am beyond understanding and seething with contempt for Evernote as a professional developer and service provider. Apparently this barely contained outrage still pales into insignificance with the their organisational and I can only assume intentional disregard towards a once loyal userbase being demonstrated through their lack of action and communication ... time and time and time and time again.
  7. It's happening on Firefox on Windows 10 1909. Firefox and Evernote Clipper up to date as I installed them for the work around. Multiple sites. https://www.mkbergman.com/414/large-scale-rdf-graph-visualization-tools/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/graph-databases-and-rdf-its-a-family-affair/ https://dotnetrdf.org/docs/stable/user_guide/Tools.html This is beyond a joke as a mission critical fail with no notification to users. I probably have 100 Webclips actually have 357 Webclips not correctly clipped in the last 3 10 days (current til 4 Jan 2022). I have no problem with having a break for the holidays. I do have an issue with dropping an update and then going on holidays! [edit] To be fair it looks like the browsers have probably broken something. Webclipper 7.18.0 looks like it was released 16 Dec 2021. My links last worked 24 Dec 2021 16:59 and first broke 24 Dec 2021 18:02 (Australian Eastern Summer Time). But this does not seem to match up with any new Browser release for Edge or Chrome or Brave. Edge Version 96.0.1054.62: December 17 Fixed various bugs and performance issues. Monday, December 20, 2021 - The Stable channel is being updated to 96.0.4664.111 (Platform version: 14268.67.0) for most Chrome OS devices. Brave Desktop Release Notes V1.33.106 (Dec 14, 2021) Firefox 95.0.2 Firefox Release December 19, 2021 Plot thickens. I guess it might be in the backend checking for mailicious links being uploaded into Evernote perhaps.
  8. Thanks for another unwanted feature. How about focusing of fixing what is broken like note syncing on my iPad? Its worked faultlessly for years until you guys started mucking around breaking stuff and add features people do not want. I was sure the out cry thus far from users would have been enough to modify your approach and priorities. I guess not.
  9. Forum support and moderators get a 4 day weekend. I get an iOS app that won't sync my notes. I guess we all get the weekend off!:>
