Hatena Star is dead in the water

Entry for July 23rd (backdated)

I've fallen behind in writing my blog entries, so I'm going to be writing them from day to day and backdating them.

Hatena Star

There were recently changes to browser standards that have negatively impacted Hatena Star. The confirm() dialog that is used to confirm color stars no longer shows. This is the cause:

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/timers-and-user-prompts.html#cannot-show-simple-dialogs

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1204081

I've started writing about it and trying to get a workaround via the iframe sandbox attribute. Google Chrome pushed it out recently and now color stars cannot be added, even on many of Hatena's own sites.
