🔧Custom Browser User Scripts: Unblock Brave Browser from Archive.is

in hive-196037 •  4 years ago  (edited)


In this video I go over another troubleshooting video and this time look at using custom browser user scripts to augment or change the way any particular website appears. And in this particular instance, I show how to unblock the Brave browser from the Archive.is (and mirror sites Archive.vn and Archive.today) archiving webpage website tool.

The Brave browser is similar to Google Chrome in that they both use the same Chromium browser architecture but Brave allows users and publishers to earn cryptocurrency in the form of Basic Attention Token (BAT). I had switched from Google Chrome to Brave about 6 months ago and everything was working fine until all of a sudden the Archive.is webpage archiving tool which I had been using for years no longer supported the Brave browser. I did some digging and found that the owner of Archive.is has an issue with retrieving the BAT tokens that his website earned and as a result decided to not allow Brave browser users to access Archive.is. I include the email conversation the owner had with Brave so feel free to read through the back-and-forth communications at your leisure.

Although this particular video was in regard to unblocking Brave from Archive.is, the general tutorial on using custom browser user scripts with the Violentmonkey script manager and Greasy Fork script sharing service can be applied to many different scenarios of changing how a website is rendered on a browser. Let me know if you have some cool user scripts that you are using!
