If you allow arbitrary extension access, you can't provide guarantees about whether someone is human or not, extension APIs allow for automation and scraping. Second of all, attestation has a lot to do with extensions because extensions are based on browser functionality, and attestation impacts which software you can run.Īnd attestation has even more to do with extensions when extended to websites because if the point of this is to established "trusted" environments, then arbitrary extension access means an environment is not trusted. Attestation has nothing to do with extentions.įirst of all, extensions are not serverside code, so no. >Conflating serverside generated code to native app restrictions is nonsensical, they are not the same thing > You did it first. And of course, there's also which is also tremendously useful. For that last set, for cold papers, one is more than tempted to start with sci-hub for the latter's greater reliability and better user interface. To be clear, IOP is pretty good by learned society standards, and even the worst of those is much less annoying to use (and less likely to have annoying glitches) than by major for-profit academic publishers, even (sometimes especially) when the paper is open access. When it happens it's usually very easy to find the preprint and start with that, so I haven't been minded to pursue anything like formal process with anyone's IT department. I waver between wondering if it's caching (seems to be more frequent on "cold" papers hosted at iop.org, during a trawl of a paper's references), sometimes location (in the IP range sense), sometimes defences triggered by "hug-of-death" on a very fresh paper. Likewise, with uBlockOrigin on medium mode sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Many times Tor (say if one wants to be sure one is not transmitting some credential to the publisher) works fine, sometimes you'll have to start a new Tor circuit (or maybe be more patient than me). "Occasional" is not universal as you aren't getting the problem in a here-and-now sense you can probably play around with the "here" part by using Tor Browser to see if you can get to the article via the link in the fine press release from northwestern. Why? Are you in a position to help everyone? (As you probably guessed while reading the comment you replied to, I don't really need help more on that below). can you detail what the possible issue is?
