@paolog mastodon.social doesn't run the latest main code yet so the preview doesn't show up here, but on mastodon.online I can see a preview for this post.

@paolog Yeah, that preview shows only the cookie consent page, unfortunately.

@Gargron I saved the yahoo page to archive.md/jR2px and their scraper (based on Chromium) clicked on the button and got past the cookie consent page; archive.today puts in a lot of effort to "fix" all sort of crazy popups and modals, but Mastodon obviously should't do that; IMHO the issue is with NPR and yahoo.com since their cookie consent page should show the opengraph meta for the actual page

@Gargron another reason why I usually just link to their text version instead.

e.g. text.npr.org/1051553451
