Twitter links get `JavaScript is not available` title

Issue #52 new

Additionally the excerpt states We've detected that JavaScript is disabled in this browser. Please enable JavaScript or switch to a supported browser to continue using twitter.com. You can see a list of supported browsers in our Help Center.

As these are returned by the API I see only two options to solve this:

  • add exceptional handling for Twitter to use the browser supplied title - exceptional handling is bad and API still uses own title instead of the one you sent
  • use browser supplied title in storage for all items - API still uses own title so new instances will be broken

the classic extension used older API and that worked fine but it is no longer documented and at some point will get turned off so that can’t be used either, there’s also option of bugging them to modify the API and use the supplied title/allow forcing supplied title/add exceptional handling for Twitter and so on, but I’m not sure if they will be interested

    this is likely related to #12 and "Add to pocket" with right click on link : page titles are sometimes not retrieved correctly item in Trello, but it most likely has to be solved by the service

    small update: retrieving data from API provides two titles: resolved_title and given_title so we can use that, should be an easy fix
