Quick question: I have been using the service to read books, but I noticed that I am unable to access any books today. Is the the book collection website working properly? Thanks! Best, Connie
it does work, but the wayback machine is down right now because of a ddos attack, that's why you can't access this right now. you should also check your email in HaveIBeenPwned if you have an account on the wayback machine.

used to work, now it can't >:(
Everything is good, but it's better to open new tab beside current.
I love it, but I wish there was a way to tailor the "auto save page" option to only save certain URLs instead of only being able to exclude. I mainly use it to archive writing on a few websites, and I end up having to do sometimes each chapter manually.
AWESOME
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
good wayback machine a verry good wayback machine
This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions. Will you fix it?
I'm getting these errors in the console now when I try to manually save something from reddit: 6 instances of Manifest: property 'url' ignored, should be within scope of the manifest. followed by 6 instances of Manifest: property 'url' of 'shortcut' not present.
Fantastic extension for saving web pages! Congratulations and many thanks!
I do like the idea of having to archive webpages automatically with it whenever I visit any websites instead of having to visit the Wayback Machine page to do it manually every time.
I've also faced increased CPU usage on MS Edge last week. I opened Chrome Task Manager and saw that this extension used 50% of my CPU. When I deleted it, everything become normal.
It used to work perfectly, but about a month ago, it suddenly said that I needed to sign in to use it. If I need to sign in to use it, then why doesn't it send me to the page to do so? it's useless without being able to be signed in.
Useful for when you want to make sure the pages you're reading will still be around in some form in the future, and to easily get at additional context. (Just remember that it checks *every page you view* against the Wayback Machine, so turn it off when you're not using it!) If you enable auto-save, be sure to add to the exclusions list so it doesn't waste time trying to archive your webmail or control panel. There *is* a private mode where it doesn't do anything until you ask it to. But that leaves you with essentially the same features as a pair of bookmarklets to check or save the current page.
Love it, I'd give 5 stars if the devs added a "⏹️ Disable context menu upon Right Click"
This is a good way to show what a website looked like in the late 90s to early 2000s. I like to look at what the old "MyFoxBoston" site for FOX 25 WFXT looked like back then, since that era of FOX TV is so nostalgic!
Used to be an excellent and useful extension, five stars easily. But as of the last few weeks or perhaps month and a half it has been crashing my browser with increasing frequency. Now, it crashes my browser probably 3 out of four times that I try to use it. And that's just with trying to see if a page has been saved before and then access one of these saved pages, let alone when I actually try and save a page myself. Could just be my browser, since I've been using kiwi browser for Android mobile which has had varying of newfound & frustrating problems (where there were previously no problems) following the Kiwi Dev's brilliant idea to "update" the browser... Since then it's been having regular issues. However, in terms of extension use/compatibility this is the only extension which has been crashing my browser, so my layman's logic leads me to think it's this extension that's been the source of the crashing bug when I attempt to use it.
life saver
very good app
Save feature broken.
OMG thank you for this extension, I can basically go back in time and explore old articles on the web using this and feel what it is like to surf the web during those time, thank you!
now has got much better with auto saving. But must have option to exclude domains from saving as well (blacklisting)
Practically the most effortless extension ever. I love using it and it's been in the background ever since I installed it.
