Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

Today I used patch-package to patch @mozilla/readability@0.5.0 for the project I'm working on.

Here is the diff that solved my problem:

diff --git a/node_modules/@mozilla/readability/Readability.js b/node_modules/@mozilla/readability/Readability.js

     // Remove extra paragraphs
     this._removeNodes(this._getAllNodesWithTag(articleContent, ["p"]), function (paragraph) {
       var imgCount = paragraph.getElementsByTagName("img").length;
+      var videoCount = paragraph.getElementsByTagName("video").length;
       var embedCount = paragraph.getElementsByTagName("embed").length;
       var objectCount = paragraph.getElementsByTagName("object").length;
       // At this point, nasty iframes have been removed, only remain embedded video ones.
       var iframeCount = paragraph.getElementsByTagName("iframe").length;
-      var totalCount = imgCount + embedCount + objectCount + iframeCount;
+      var totalCount = imgCount + videoCount + embedCount + objectCount + iframeCount;
 
       return totalCount === 0 && !this._getInnerText(paragraph, false);
     });

If I don't apply this change, the video on this website will be removed.

Do you think we can open a PR to fix it?
