by Firefox user 14879842, 4 years agoSame issue as everyone else. You *cannot* throw a splash screen in my face every time a page fails to load properly. Have some respect for your user base - if someone is familiar with the Wayback Machine and chooses to install this extension, chances are they know how to navigate to the archive for dead pages via the widget! Please add a toggle. This is an issue I would have expected the Archive Team of all groups to be savvy to.
My primary reason for downloading was to be able to quickly save websites and contribute to the archive. While this extension makes that slightly more convenient, I would recommend that anyone seeking similar functionality just memorize this to prepend to the address of whichever page you want to save: "https://web.archive.org/save/". If you're more interested in the other function, you can instead prepend "https://web.archive.org/web/*/".
Other people have suggested that the page-down screens be converted into banners, and while this would be a huge improvement, I would really like to be able to disable all popups regardless of "intrusiveness." Again, this seems like something you guys would be sensitive to! I can't understand why it's designed this way.

- Rated 5 out of 5by realdickcheney, 8 days agoCitations lacking incomplete bilbiographic data make me SOOOO ANGRY that I need to go hunting. After, I use this extension to find archives of webpages cited on Wikipedia to help prevent link rot. It works wonderfully!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Celtice, 2 months agoThis extension is pretty convenient. I recommend running it only manually unless your internet connection and device resources (memory and so on) can easily handle it. My PC is very middleground in terms of hardware and my internet speeds and connection are deplorable so running it automatically on many pages was really slowing things down. If the extension just isn't pleasing me I regularly turn it off and just paste web links into the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine website.
