@pes10k You @brave folks should probably hide or remove the brave://flags/#enable-text-fragment-anchor flag 🚩. Some folks tried toggling it, but it seems to be a no-op. Context: https://t.co/09clzDXl3Z

@CharlieCroom Here’s the Issue: https://t.co/iBobuq3EuU.

(Recall that https://t.co/5C3hL9TC96 links don’t work with text fragments due to https://t.co/KLOaNFxPcn.)

@CharlieCroom Yeah, URL parsing is incredibly hard. Thanks for the pointer to the repo, I’ll just open an Issue there then. Helpful as always, thanks again, Charlie! 💍

@CharlieCroom Looks like Twitter’s URL parser needs updating now that Text Fragments URLs are a thing.
The text fragment I meant to share was: `:~:text=Use%20this%20method%20with%20Clients.claim()%20to,client%20and%20all%20other%20active%20clients.`

@ZehEcks @jeffposnick @passle_ @HenrikJoreteg Ah, this is strictly meant to show the states. Gotcha.

@passle_ @ZehEcks @HenrikJoreteg @slightlylate @jeffposnick (The https://t.co/sKLcIuqqof link doesn’t seem to work.)

Not sure if you also want to add the `Clients.claim()` step, since it’s are usually meant to be used together with `skipWaiting()`: https

@tomcritchlow There were some refinements for Text Fragments in Chrome 84, the version I’m testing on and where your links work reliably every time. Maybe you’re on an earlier version?

@KiwiAlec If you find something, please post it on the bug. 😉 Like, honestly.

@IrishEagle Thanks for recording this video, very helpful. Good news, I have identified the issue. I’ll have a new version published soon. If you’re interested, this was the problem: https://t.co/4emJOlKih7. 🤦‍♂️

@SimoAhava @defaced @KiwiAlec And a pretty cool proof to be quite honest. Let’s see what happens on the bug.

@SimoAhava @defaced @KiwiAlec Nice find. Unfortunately this is probably not intended to be exposed. Filed crbug.com/1096983. Sorry to (potentially, still needs confirmation from engineering) ruin the party.

@tomcritchlow As suggested in your post, following up here…

First, it doesn’t work on Twitter (details: https://t.co/DiSMVjbqH5).

Second: there’re some security restrictions in place: https://t.co/M8wmXaLrFa.

@timse7 @verge I was also thinking about the good old days of Media Fragments. For annotating, we can definitely use Text Fragments today. Also of interest: the integration with Web Annotations: https://t.co/jBD1O8z2g0.

@JonPorty If this still repros for you, could I ask you to let me know the exact browser version and operating system version you’re using, please?

[For example, I conducted my tests on macOS Version 10.15.5 with Chrome Version 84.0.4147.45 (Official Bui

@JonPorty This is working exactly as it should: It’s a long passage, so the extension takes the first couple of words and frames it by the last couple of words:

textStart: The%20extension%20and%20the%20functionality%20it

textEnd: linking%20to%20that%20c

@JonPorty As promised getting back. I can’t reproduce the problem, tho. For the exact same passage, the extension created this link: https://t.co/4z2nnnoe1M. The fragment being # 6yZyrd:~:text=The%20extension%20and%20the%20functionality%20it,linking%20to%

@othermaciej @jensimmons @jonathandavis @samthor Absolutely, please don’t gate this at the “PWA feature or not?” question. PWAs are just websites: https://t.co/sROuP1RqBZ. 😃

@johnwilander @othermaciej I wish I could use Purple Safari on iOS, and iPadOS, or—rumor mill—even iPhone2020 “one more thing” WWDC2021 can then be all about other browser engines… 🤣
