Description

The Official Wayback Machine Extension - by the Internet Archive.

Welcome to the Official Internet Archive Wayback Machine Browser Extension! Go back in time to see how a website has changed through the history of the Web. Save websites, view missing 404 Not Found pages, or read archived books & papers.

Most features will work without requiring an account including Save Page Now.

Some features must be enabled from Settings. Turn on Private Mode to prevent automatic sending of data and to protect your privacy while browsing.


Features

• Save Page Now - Instantly save the page you are currently viewing in the Wayback Machine. Turn on Auto Save Page in settings to save pages that have not previously been saved, or Auto Save Bookmarks to save when bookmarking a page. Works while logged out, or log in for additional options.

• Oldest, Newest & Overview - View the first version of a page or the most recently saved in the Wayback Machine. Or view a calendar overview of all archived pages. Can also use by right-clicking over a page or link.

• Wayback Machine Count - Display a count of snapshots of the current page stored in the Wayback Machine over the toolbar icon, and the date of last save in the popup.

This is the extension that should be used when teaching how to design any extensions. It just works, but the simple layout that's easy to use and understand. THANK YOU for updating to MV3! I was coming here to see if it was still in danger and was going to offer to update it for you haha. But you did it! Only suggestion is a personal preference and that's that I wish the popup width was a little wider, but that's cosmetic only, the feature set is fantastic though!

Am interested in looking at old youtube snapshots but the archive.org website is very slow, it takes forever to load. Please fix the loading speed. Thank you
