Zotero saves website with empty snapshot

edited June 16, 2020
When I add a website via the connector (e.g. in Chromium, but the problem not only there), Zotero saves a snapshot. Since recently the snapshot, however, is empty for many websites. That is, the website item is created, as is an attachement titled "Snapshot". But apparently no according html file on the disk.

One example for a page that doesn't work is
https://www.quantamagazine.org/beyond-the-bell-curve-a-new-universal-law-20141015/

while
https://www.quantamagazine.org/why-gravity-is-not-like-the-other-forces-20200615/

on the other hand works.

Is there a setting or something else that I can change to get snapshots reliably again?

Edit:
Connector: Version 5.0.68
Zotero: 5.0.88
  • Are there any news on this?
  • No, but improving snapshots on sites where they're not saved properly is planned. It's generally due to pages doing complicated things with JavaScript to render content, and you'll usually get the same results when saving a complete webpage in Chrome or Firefox (Zotero being based on the latter).
