Description

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. NEW: Direct action Shortcuts (with optional Tabs permission) NEW: Customizable Toolbar Button Choose your preferred action for the toolbar icon: • Dropdown Menu: Quick access to Search, Archive, and Options. • Direct Search: Instantly search the current page URL. • Direct Archive: Instantly archive the current page. Features: • Archive Today Integration: Sends the current tab URL to Archive Today to preserve a snapshot and opens the result in a new tab. • Context Menus: Includes Link context menu to Archive or Search, and a Page context menu to Search. • Customizable Behavior: Options to control if the new tab opens adjacent to the current tab, at the end of the tab strip, or replaces the current tab (archive only). • Tab Activation: Control whether new Archive or Search tabs are activated immediately. • HTTPS Security: Uses HTTPS for all archival and search transmissions. • Keyboard Shortcuts: A custom shortcut can be created to archive the current page instantly. (Archive Today is a time capsule for web pages. It takes a 'snapshot' of a webpage that will always be online even if the original page disappears. 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.) Consent: By using this extension, you consent to sharing your Archive or Search URL with Archive Today when initiated by you. This extension does not otherwise collect or share any user data. Notes: 1. If you get an error, try again later. It's NOT an extension issue—Archive Today sometimes gets overwhelmed. 2. CloudFlare DNS may not resolve Archive Today; if you experience DNS errors, try a different DNS server (e.g., Quad9). 3. For similar functionality on Android, check out Share2Archive in the Play Store. What's New in 1.5.1: * Fix Activate Option * Fix Startup Options What's New in 1.5.0: * Direct action Shortcuts (with optional Tabs permission) * Squash some small bugs. What's New in 1.4.9: * Fix activation options. What's New in 1.4.8: * Show Welcome screen only for significant extension releases. What's New in 1.4.7: * Removed redundant optional update notification * Bug fix What's New in 1.4.6: * Change in permissions to avoid silent disabling. What's New in 1.4.5: * Change in permissions to avoid silent disabling. • New Welcome Experience: Dedicated onboarding page for new features and privacy settings. • Customizable Toolbar Actions: Toggle between Dropdown menu, Search-only, or Archive-only modes. • Streamlined Context Menus: Removed redundant right-click items for a cleaner interface. • Auto-Save Options: Settings now save immediately upon change; the "Save" button is now "Close". • Fixed Extension Removal: Restored "Remove" button functionality in Options and Welcome pages. Disclaimers: • Use at your own risk. No liability is accepted for any loss or damage. • This extension is not affiliated with Archive Today. • Trademarks are the properties of their respective owners.

This used to be a good extension but is now broken. I just see the checkbox to confirm "I'm not a robot" but it just keeps reappering. This is poor poor software design and needs fixing.

Had been working perfectly for a long time, now it suddenly triggers Chrome to ask permission for it to read and edit ALL data on ALL websites! Very suspicious!

The plugin has completely stopped working. I typically access it from the pinned icon in my toolbar, but that completely stopped working a week ago as well. I've read the information John Navas (Developer) gave to others over the past couple days and those instructions are as clear as mud. I use the pin-to-toolbar option exclusively and it doesn't work. I have no idea how to "rant Access to the current page" once I've opened the browser extension. Like I said...clear as mud. I used to be able to click the ArchivePH button on my toolbar and it would automatically open the page and start searching for the archived article. I changed the Options for Archive Page setting to "search only" as one person did in a recent review, and that just ads another step to trying to read the article. Hopefully, the developer will update the plug to function properly in light of Google's ridiculous "Chromium privacy & security enhancements", which are a joke. (That's a dig at Google, not the plugin developer.)

It no longer functions. The app's owner must update the link to https://archive.is/ I keep getting redirected to a page saying: "Welcome to nginx! If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required. For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org. Commercial support is available at nginx.com. Thank you for using nginx." Edit: Provide an option for users to edit the link since it appears to change periodically, avoiding the need to wait for an app update each time.

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!

Please note that this extension archives elements that the authors will refuse to delete, so be careful about what you archive. They violate copyright laws and collect personal data using a tracking pixel once the browser is opened. They do not respect DMCA laws or individual rights. In addition, this archive site also indexes the Dark Web, there are thousands of child pornography content and also narcotics store directories. Stay away from this, as there is currently an FBI investigation. EDIT: John NAVAS is lying. He is the programmer of archive.today. The extension and the linked site are managed by the same people.

Brings you to page saying "Welcome to nginx!" for months. Have to manually go to archive.is and log the webpages like the olden times.

Fail. Even accessing archive.today or archive.ph manually results in a CAPTCHA loop, and this has been broken for MONTHS without anyone fixing it. We shouldn't have to change DNS providers or use VPNs to access this. Uninstalled.

"2. CloudFlare DNS may not resolve archive.today, so if you experience DNS errors, try a different DNS service." when 99.9% works and this extension fails i think the problem is there a waste of time, much better solutions out there forgot to remove it, bumped 2-3 times when got updated, now is time to remove it for good, farewell

Was good but broken as of past couple of months. Not related to Google's changes, just cannot get past Grant Access screen on Android with Kiwi Browser, even when access has been granted in settings. Click the button does nothing.

Used to be perfect. Now it keeps reverting to a menu when I click vs what I want which is just archiving with a left click. Fixing this by changing the options to fix is annoying. I never want search, just archive with left click

Was great, but now when I click it it takes me to a page that says "Welcome to nginx! If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required. For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org. Commercial support is available at nginx.com. Thank you for using nginx."

Easy install, easy pin. Doesn't work!

Works fine, but make the update page an optional thing. It's pretty annoying to have an extra tab opened and switched to when the addon is updated while you're reading something on a page

Before the most recent update, the Search function would ignore URL parameters (such as the tracking parameters from social media, email newsletters, etc.) and take you straight to the most recent archived version of the page. Now, I have to remove them manually or else it won't find anything and will return "no results". Is there any way to return it to that former behavior?

Fantastic extension (thankyou) but it's no longer working in Chrome, for some reason.

It was a great extension, but why does it now need permissions to "read your browsing history" and "display notifications"? I can't enable it when it requires these permissions.

For the past several days it has been giving the "nginx is downloaded" message on multiple browsers and multiple networks, admittedly on one laptop. It has not gone away as I have expected, except for very brief moments when it worked, slowly (sometimes using alternate domains seemed to help but usually it does not).
