Cannot add a certain bookmark (ReadTimeoutError) about buku HOT 3 OPEN

The site itself has connection issues:

• Firefox: may refuse to load with transfer status NS_ERROR_NET_INTERRUPT (especially when accessing via VPN)
• Chrome: completely inaccessible (for me) with status ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR
• Vivaldi: same result as Chrome but only when the site doesn't load in Firefox as well (…for some reason)
• wget: permanently hangs after printing HTTP request sent, awaiting response...
• curl: halts immediately with an error message saying (92) HTTP/2 stream 1 was not closed cleanly: INTERNAL_ERROR (err 2)

My best guess is that they have rather quirky security setup on their server.

I'd suggest implementing fallback behaviour for cases when the URL cannot be accessed (like prompting the user for bookmark title instead, or defaulting to the URL/empty string as the title). Also maybe don't try to load the page in the first place when both --title and --comment are supplied (and/or have an option to disable automatic fetch altogether, e.g. --offline); at the moment even supplying --immutable 1 doesn't prevent Buku from trying to access the URL passed to --add.

I agree, an offline method is the best possible option.
