do not make sense to be for all sites.
Medium has too many sub-domains
Medium has too many sub-domains
// @match *://*.medium.com/*
Should be enough for matching sub-domains.
Should be enough for matching sub-domains.
What about devopsquare.com, blog.devops.dev, blog.stackademic.com, ai.plainenglish.io, bettermarketing.pub
and etc? It's impossible for us to say how many Medium sites there are.
You are right. I didn't know those type of sites exist. But they are just different domains, technically speaking.
To recap:
// @match *://*.medium.com/*
Is enough for matching sub-domains.
// @match *://*/*
Is needed for matching any possible domain who happens to be a Medium website.
freedium is offline so unfortunately this script doesn't work anymore for now
All works as expected. Yeah, we made some codebase refactor, to improve speed and some big bug fixes. And there were some minor downtimes.
Can you remove?
