- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14565419, 6 years agoI find it really, really annoying that I cannot block it's popup for some sites. For example, Reddit is down right now. Every time I reload, it pops its obnoxious "you wanna see an archived version of this page?" thing. No matter how many times I dismiss the damned thing. I don't want an archived version of Reddit. Please give us a way to black list sites from this popup!
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15249045, 6 years agoA great addon but it sometimes thinks that a non 404 page is a 404 page, which is very annoying

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15184521, 6 years agoIt redirects many pages that are working just fine to the "Page not available screen", and there isn't a way to disable that part of the addon. I really like the ability to open a page in the wayback machine, but this addon gets in the way of my regular browsing too much.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Danny Lin, 6 years agoThe current version has an issue that it frequently consider a working web page as 404 and redirects it to addon page, especially when URL change or go back/forward, which is very annoying.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Amir Ali Akbari, 6 years agoVery helpful extension, but it detects many working pages as 404, especially on browser reload. An option to disable automatic Wayback machine popup is really needed.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14966376, 6 years agoI love Archive.org, truly a priceless resource. Unfortunately the last few months I've been unable to use the "Save Page Now" function. It just goes to a blank page when I try. It seems like a problem through the core site, since when I actually go to Archive.org/*site and hit "save a copy" it doesn't work either.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14106106, 6 years agoI will consider changing the rating, once the major bug will be fixed, which causes this plugin to pop up on working websites.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Savannah, 6 years ago(edited March 2022) The recent update is great. Being able to automatically archive all the pages I visit gives me a lot of peace of mind.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14709676, 6 years agoThe bug of March 2019 that triggers it on about 30% of times I try to go back one page (on regular, live, working URLs) needs to be fixed...
Else very useful since so many websites (especially universities and governments!) can't seem to understand the concept of a stable URL! - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12145106, 6 years agoIt currently has a bug that causes it to trigger sometimes when I click the back button. I just visited the page a minute ago, it works fine when the addon is disabled, and my internet connection is fast, so I don't think it's a problem with the site.
However, apart from the bug, this is indicative of a problem with the addon design, which is that it redirects to a different page, and offers no option to exit out of the addon or try to load the original page even if the Wayback Machine addon thinks it's broken. It's okay for the addon to make mistakes, it's not okay for me to need to disable it in order to load the original page. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13174997, 6 years ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14540481, 6 years agoToo aggressive when sites don't load immediately. It was nice the one time the site actually was down, but not the fifty other times my internet just was slow.
