ANN: Drafts Web Capture! Add to Drafts from any browser

  1. Which of the bookmarklets are you using?
  2. Does the other bookmarklet work for you?
  3. Have you tried disabling any ad blockers you might be running?
  4. What happens if you visit the https://capture.getdrafts.com page directly and login, rather than the bookmarklet?
  5. Do either of the bookmarklets, or the capture page work for you in a Chrome incognito session?
  6. Do either of the bookmarklets, or the capture page work for you in another browser (not Chrome) on the same device?
  7. Do either of the bookmarklets, or the capture page work for you in a Chrome browser on a different device?
  1. I have used both; neither work
  2. I am not currently running ad blockers (although plan to add some)
  3. Same problem: I login, it redirects to icloud, then I go back to that same page
  4. It works in Incognito: I set on pop up but it opens a separate full tab
  5. It works for Firefox sort of…I always use Pop up, but it just opens the drafts page as a separate tab.

So, you can login via other sessions which suggests you have some rogue profile setting or bad cookie. It would be worth trying to clear your cookies to see if that resolves the login loop.

The pop-up always going into new tabs; check your browser settings to see if you have something set to always open in new tabs rather than new windows.

@agiletortoise Thank you! Some issues with brave browser. After i log in, it works fine on chrome, but does nothing on brave. brave is also a chromium browser.

I have disabled the shields for the capture.drafts and apple id.

I did clear the cookies associated with the getdrafts domain. Others to remove? I can try again after delete all cookies.

The issue is occurring for iCloud login, so I would try clearing any cookies associated with that domain too. In fact, I would just clear out any Apple domain cookies just to be doubly sure - but I’m not convinced it would be necessary.

Also do clear the browser cache in case it is some temporary file that is persisting and thwarting the login effort.
