I have been using the browser cache feature to download from FFN. However the many troubles of the site have come to a head recently where the latest chapters of half my fics open fine in the app or using the mobile link but not on the www.fanfiction.net even after 2 weeks (throwing the outdated url/new chapter error).
Is there a way to have the browser cache function fetch pages using m.fanfiction.net instead. Using

Maybe?

The HTML is different.  And as I recall, not all the metadata we collect
is available on the mobile version.

And considering that which chapters fail is random and changes, I don't
think there's any guarantee that the mobile chapters won't have the same
issue...

Somebody suggested something very similar about removing the story title
from chapter URLs:

This seems to work, so I've implemented a test version with it.
