Wayback Everywhere is a browser extension/addon that allows you to automatically redirect all pages to Internet Archive's Wayback Machine (except the site (domains) that are in 'Excludes' List) and auto-saves to Wayback machine if not yet archived. Release notes Examples: http://example.org --> https://web.archive.org/web/2/https://example.org. If http://gnu.org is in 'Excludes' List --> http://gnu.org If a page is not yet archived when loaded --> https://web.archive.org/save/<URL> Over time (perhaps a few days of usage..), you can build this 'Excludes' list to suit your browsing habits. More information on 'Excludes' list available below. Addons comes with over 800 sites in editable "default excludes list" to provide a starting point to the user. FEATURES:

Popup menu Use the Popup menu to add/remove site from Excludes list, temporarily disable WaybackEverywhere addon and open Settings and Help Pages.
Automatic Detection of Wayback Machine Site's Error Messages - Addon tries to detect messages displayed by Wayback Machine and either Saves a available page to Wayback or Adds the site to Exclude list based on the error message.
Settings Page Settings page allows you to add or remove a site from the excludes list, and also do factory reset. If you are interested, you can enable console logging from here.
Auto-toggle to reader mode for Archived pages, if supported. You can enable this from settings page (currently not available in Firefox Android)

AUTO-DETECT WAYBACK MACHINE ERROR MESSAGES

Auto-Save Page to Wayback Machine - When WaybackMachine site throws error message that says "This page is available on the web, save this page to Wayback to make it more complete", the addon automatically loads the Save page url as https://web.archive.org/save/URL
Auto-add to Excludes List - When Wayback Machine site throws error message that says it cannot load a page due to the site being excluded from Wayback Machine or if the site excluded itself from Wayback using Robots.txt file, the addon automatically detects this error message and puts the site (domainname) in Excludes list. And then it loads the live webpage. This helps the user to build her Excludes list Automatically over few days of usage.

POPUP MENU Popup Menu appearance changes based on in which page you click on the Popup Menu. Refer Screenshots attached to this page. Any "Temporary" Exclude/Include are cleared back when the browser is closed and started again. EXCLUDES LIST

Sites (hostnames) in the Excludes list are excluded from routing to Wayback Machine.
You can use popup menu buttons to add/remove from this Excludes list to suit your browsing habits
You also have the option to add or remove from Excludes list via Settings Page
Some Wayback Machine site's error messages like "Site excluded" - the addon can automatically detects this and adds the site (hostname) to Excludes list. This helps you in building a Excludes list without manual effort. Read more here : Auto-detect Wayback Machine Error Messages
The 'Excludes' list excludes at domain level, including subdomains - for example, if we exclude .google. - this results in redirect rules not applying to all Google sites - the ones that have 'google' in the url (i.e no redirection to wayback machine) happens across all google domains - docs.google.com, drive.google.com, google.de, google.co.in and so on.
Now, in those domains, if there are "public pages" (like Blog posts) which do not need login to view, you can use the popup menu's "Save Page Now" button to save that page alone to the wayback machine

Addon tries to do some validation on the imported JSON before it saves settings to Disk. But we advise not to manually edit the exported JSON before importing to avoid errors

DEFAULT EXCLUDES LIST

Some sites that are excluded from Wayback Machine - quora.com for example
Some sites that use robots.txt file on server to exclude themselves from Wayback Machine - smithsonianmag.com, for example
Some sites that may need login, as Wayback Machine archives public pages only. For example, docs.google.com or paypal.com , or some sites that host video content which may not work in Waymachine Archived version like youtube.com or vimeo.com
