I’m not sure if the problem is specific with Linkedin or is also present with other sites, however:

Raw:

No JS error in the browser console, however the link title is skipped:

I can repro only here on Meta both on Firefox and Chrome, the other sites are not yet affected by this problem.

@sam could this be a regression from your mini-onebox timeout fix?

I believe this is working as expected, since this link returns `999 Request denied` and some HTML without a title.

EDIT: Oh I see, the bug is that we don’t fallback to just the link when mini-onebox fails, in some conditions.
