Wanted to download track where seems only surviving upload’s on some stupid site called toneden where you’ve follow artist’s Spotify + sub to newsletter to “unlock” download

  • Track’s not uploaded anywhere on YouTube
  • Not on artist’s (Bandcamp|other music service)
  • Purged from artist’s sound cloud page

First steps:

  1. Create throwaway Spotify
  2. Create archive.org account so wen download , can make publicly available for peops who want it without toneden stupidity
  3. Go to track page try following toneden’s instructions
  4. Spotify auth window stays white never loads
  5. Tried toggling off some add ons (request control → canvas blocker → violentmonkey) . No dice
  6. Temporarily removed custom ubo filters . No dice

Would hafta create new temp profile with only basic ubo config to hopefully get every thing working , here’s how that went

  1. Accidentally set profile directory to rꝏt folder of zen browser install , thinking it would automaticly create folder with that profile in it
  2. Tried deleting profile thinking it wouldn’t remove core files
  3. Tried creating profile in different location
  4. Remains stuck
  5. LꝏK in zen installation folder , most items deleted
  6. Items missing from profile folder I normally use
  7. Tried asking for help in Zen’s discord , no response

Devastating if Can’t roll back , didn’t take any recent profile backups . Don’t want to lose hard work with custom userChrome

TL;DR : Wanted to (download|archive) track only available on toneden → Accidentally corrupted Zen browser install

Fuck toneden and similar services
