Mildly off-topic, but...

One minor annoyance I have with one of the "open" Nitter hosting sites I use to follow Twitter accounts is that Nitter seems (at least on iOS) to save bookmarks with the original twitter URL instead of the Nitter one I'm currently viewing, and I then have to manually edit the bookmark URL to correct it...

Does anyone know if it's possible to control this (with an option?) if I were to host Nitter myself (open source I guess, but still)?




The bookmarked URL is under the control of your browser. Could you provide more detail?


Looks like it's a Safari "issue", in that the HTML has: <link rel="canonical" href="originalURL">

in the main page, and Safari uses that, rather than the actual page, I guess by design.

Doesn't seem to happen in Firefox on MacOS or Linux.
