Bitpay evidently knows that their system is broken!

Hello guys,
I m still using bitpay, and as of today - the noscript link doesnt work. Apparently their team isn t asleep and are working on fixing bugs that we could use to simplify our lifes....
Does anyone have an updated solution for this matter? How to extract the normal form of a BTC adress from the
Code:
bitcoin:?r=https://bitpay.com/i/TXID
form?

Oh, no!  The page which I referenced here:

Bitpay’s support page for Tor users may currently bear the date of “January 04, 2018 02:28”; but it’s had substantially the same text for a very long time, including the same talk of “developing a fix” and an “immediate workaround”:

...now bears the updated date of “March 10, 2018 17:58”.  And the only apparent difference is that more than half the page has been deleted.  It still says, “There is an immediate workaround detailed at the bottom of this post.”  But the “workaround” you report as non-working has now vanished down the memory hole!

Evidently, they must know that their system is broken, and are choosing not to inform customers who visit that support page.

(Archive of current version.  Unfortunately, I did not take an archive in January; and there does not seem to be one.  Upthread, I quoted the pertinent portion from what is now missing.)

This is a big problem.  Unfortunately, many companies are still reliant on Bitpay.  As a customer of other companies who sometimes needs to make payments through the horrid Bitpay, this could seriously affect me even though I never wanted anything to do with Bitpay.  They had better fix their broken garbage.
