The current Safari/Chrome Connector on macOS does not work for economist.com.
Would anyone please have a look at this and fix it?

Looks like Zotero can not identify the specific article I opened (the options above are other articles from the homepage).
Zotero Connector 5.0.17
Safari 10.1.2
macOS Sierra 10.12.6
In the mean time, if you right-click on the button (Chrome) or long-click it (Safari), you can choose the "Embedded Metadata" option, which will give you more correct data.
Would appreciate a fix for the dedicated function in the translator very much.
Zotero Connector 5.0.26
Safari 11.0.1
MacOS 10.13.1
I am unable to use the "metadata" option. When I right-click on the Connector icon, I do get option shown, but when I click on it, it doesn't get selected, the options remain visible and neither of them can be selected.
@adamsmith Is this one on your radar?
Sorry, that’s of course what I did. Right-clicking does indeed only yield in a regular click. Thanks for pointing that out!

Thanks for helping with this.
var m = url.match(/economist\.com\/[^\/]*\/[^\/]*\/\d+/);
right?
I don't quite understand why that could detect as a multiple, then.
And just to double-check -- you're looking at
https://www.economist.com/news/international/21726276-last-week-newspaper-said-alphabets-boss-should-write-detailed-ringing-rebuttal
or are you on a different URL? If so, which?
I see the folder on the page you linked to and any other Economist article I click on. My links have Harvard's proxy in them in case that's causing an issue.
https://www-economist-com.ezp-prod1.hul.harvard.edu/news/international/21726276-last-week-newspaper-said-alphabets-boss-should-write-detailed-ringing-rebuttal
I just tried the link without the proxy on a laptop not hard-wired to Harvard's network and the webpage icon does display instead of the folder icon. However the webpage icon isn't active by which I mean clicking on it does nothing. I can successfully add items from the New York Time or CNN on the same computer.
@adomasven -- the url passed on to translators (in detectWeb and doWeb) includes the proxy. Is that intended? Do you know if that has changed? I don't recall that.
