I thought you were missing paid articles. If you want paid articles to work send me details to test.

So opening the page in Edge will install the certificates? Have just done that.

And calibre still won't download. It gets a bit further than before (by starting fetching feeds) but stops after a few seconds. Have attached the log.

How can I add the code you've shared to the built-in recipe?

Also, I created a custom recipe for https://www.liberation.fr/arc/outbou.../?redirected=1 . No error message with this one, however, it fails to download any article. Have added your 2-line code to the end but articles still won't download:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# vim:fileencoding=utf-8
from calibre.web.feeds.news import BasicNewsRecipe

class AdvancedUserRecipe1719607517(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title          = 'Libération (pers.)'
    oldest_article = 3
    max_articles_per_feed = 100
    auto_cleanup   = True

    feeds          = [
        ('Articles', 'https://www.liberation.fr/arc/outboundfeeds/rss-all/collection/accueil-une/?redirected=1'),
    ]
def get_browser(self):
    return BasicNewsRecipe.get_browser(self, verify_ssl_certificates=False)

In all, I wonder what's going on. Why is it that with some sites, it's such a struggle to make calibre access them and download stuff. (Why involve Edge in the first place, why add code to recipe, etc.)

For testing the download of paid articles: thanks for the offer, I'll take it up once I get the download of free articles to work.

Am using calibre portable btw.
