All works as expected. Yeah, we made some codebase refactor, to improve speed and some big bug fixes. And there were some minor downtimes.
Thanks @a-pav I wasn't aware that optional chaining was supported on tampermonkey. Yes, the mutationobserver is being registered, try commenting the section and click a link in this page for example https://medium.com/@francais you'll notice no redirect.
What a wonderful script. Thank you for sharing 🙇
In case freedium goes unstable, how about disabling redirects for free posts? This is the predicate to check if it is a premium content: document.querySelector('.meteredContent') != null
@zzJinux yes, I thought about that too a couple months ago, I will try to implement it once I have more free time
@mathix420 I have already locally patched the script to add the predicate. I hope your version will do so.
@zzJinux if you want you can fork this gist and update it so I can replicate your changes
@mathix420 Just a few lines change: https://gist.github.com/zzJinux/364725e7c61810719286d94e88a4e38c I haven't had any issues.
Guys, sorry, yeah I known that's my fault. I need your help: Freedium-cfd/web#16 (comment)
freedium is offline so unfortunately this script doesn't work anymore for now
