Readwise Export Format
Right now, when my Memex content gets exported to Readwise, the link of the content also ends up in the title of the Readwise export, and I don't like that. Is there a way to customize the Readwise format so that the link doesn't end up in the title?
For eg., if I clip a YouTube video or put a note onto a YouTube video, the title of the YouTube video will be there, followed by the URL of the video itself. I'm looking for a way to avoid that, and I don't want the URL to show up in the title.

Is that only happening on YouTube videos?
Can you send me a screenshot of how that looks?

Can you make me a screenshot of the same result in the memex dashboard?
Which browser do you use?

Here is how it looks in Memex itself. I use Vivaldi browser.
Thanks for the fast reply!
I’m guessing it’s a problem with Vivaldi specifically. Just tried on Arc and it doesn’t seem to have this issue.
Looking back at my old saves, it looks like it used to function correctly up until ~august, which is about the time when there was an update. Not sure if it’s just a coincidence here though.

I’ll check the change logs and see if there is anything that could have affected it.

Thank you!!
I’m starting to think it might be an issue with Vivaldi, as the title bar itself shows “Site Title - Domain - URL”
Not sure how long this has been here though.
Just did a fresh profile on Vivaldi, and the address bar shows as expected without the full URL. Will have to see what setting I enabled that changed this. I think this is the culprit

Sorry for all the troubles, the problem was from one of my Plugins, Rize. Disabling it fixed the issue.

Interesting, thanks for the update. What does Rize do and why do you think it interfered?

Rize.io is a time tracking tool and I believe part of what the extension does is that it adds the url to the title bar so that it can better track what I am viewing and provide a better time breakdown. But I guess in this case, it interfered by directly modifying the title.

Ah yeah it probably changes the site metadata
