Overview
Archive webpage with archive.today
Adds a button to the Chrome toolbar. When clicked, it sends the URL of the current tab to archive.today to preserve a snapshot of the page, and opens the result in a new tab. Also includes Link context menu to Archive or Search, Page context menu to Search. Archive URL can be bookmarked for future reference, shared, whatever. Uses HTTPS for security. For similar functionality on Android, check out Share2Archive in the Play Store. NOTES: 1. "Read your browsing history" permission is eliminated if not granted, or if you remove and reinstall the extension. 2. If you get an error, try again or try later. It's NOT an extension issue—archive.today sometimes gets overwhelmed. 3. CloudFlare DNS may not resolve archive.today, so if you experience DNS errors, try a different DNS server.

It saves a text and a graphical copy of the page for better accuracy and provides a short and reliable link to an unalterable record of the web page.) Disclaimers: Use at your own risk.

Has been very useful when I'm investigating for my case, safekeeping evidence, however there has been several glitches lately, as in some images do not save, and there has been failures to keep the layout intacts; I do make dozens upon hundreds of Archives, so it's likely I'm increasing the odds, but it's worth noting. Also, by Mid-October this year, there has been an Update or something that makes the tool unusable, Archive.today or Archive.ph is not working as of yet, but the alternative i... Show more

Please note that this extension is not affiliated with archive.today. It merely facilitates access to that service. Any issues with that service should be taken up there. Your rating here should only apply to this extension, not the service. archive.today is a redirect for geo- and load-balancing. archive.ph is working. Your problem is likely your DNS server or Internet connection. 1. Try a different DNS server. Good free public DNS servers are readily available. 2. Try a different Internet service or a good VPN service. Hope that helps.

Why are you prompting wierd permisions settings at random times? This makes no sense from a UX pov. And feels like this extension is getting hacked. Also chrome just takes over the computer when it happens. Interupting anything your doing, a web call, presentation or work. stop this now!

As of version 0.9.0, the only Permission prompt occurs if the Notification of updates Option is enabled (checked), which is off by default, and that only occurs when you Save that Option. If the Notification Option is not enabled, then you won't get any Permission prompts. If you're seeing some other behavior, contact Support with the details, and it will be fixed!

John, can you explain why you need a Display notification permission for options? Most other extensions just load options from a the extension's context menu.
John NavasDeveloperOct 4, 2024
'Display notifications' permission is only to notify you when the extension is updated so you know why the Options dialog is being displayed. UPDATE: Notification permission is optional as of version 0.9.0.
