Overview

Instantly open the current page in Internet Archive to view snapshots of websites, thereby eliminating paywalls. This extension helps you access web content by bypassing paywalls(especially of news websites), and access historical versions of any site. Perfect for researchers, journalists, and anyone who wants to check a permanent record of web pages.

Version 3.0 changes:
-New UI consistent with Brands

-Added new Welcome page.

Features:

-One-click access to archive.today for the current tab
-Works with all HTTP and HTTPS pages

-Simple, privacy-friendly, and lightweight

How it works:
