Archive Page Extension

Adds a button to the Chrome toolbar. When clicked, it sends the URL of the current tab to archive.today to preserve a snapshot of the page, and opens the result in a new tab.
Also includes Link context menu to Archive or Search, Page context menu to Search.
Archive URL can be bookmarked for future reference, shared, whatever. Uses HTTPS for security.
For similar functionality on Android, check out Share2Archive in the Play Store.

NOTES:
1. \"Read your browsing history\" permission is eliminated if not granted, or if you remove and reinstall the extension.
2. If you get an error, try again or try later. It's NOT an extension issue—archive.today sometimes gets overwhelmed.
3. CloudFlare DNS may not resolve archive.today, so if you experience DNS errors, try a different DNS server.

WHAT'S NEW:
0.9.0 Update: Remove (uninstall) button in Options dialog
Update notification only if enabled by user (optional permission)

0.8.4 Update: Notification only when updated (not installed).
Remove unnecessary access to browsing history.
Tweak default Options.

0.8.1 Update: Notification when installed or updated.

0.8 Update: Display Options dialog when onboarding.
Add Privacy Policy to Options dialog.

0.7 Update: Migrate to Manifest V3.
Prevent use on non-Web tabs.

0.6 Update: Improve Search functionality.

0.5 Update: Option to open archive.today in adjacent tab, tab at end, or active tab.
Closing new tab now returns to original tab.

0.4 Update: Options to control new tab activation (separate for each function). New tab is activated by default. Uncheck option to not activate.

0.3 Update: Adds context menu items for:
• Page: Search archive.today for the page URL
• Link: Archive or Search link in archive.today

(archive.today is a time capsule for web pages. It takes a 'snapshot' of a webpage that will always be online even if the original page disappears. It saves a text and a graphical copy of the page for better accuracy and provides a short and reliable link to an unalterable record of the web page.)

Disclaimers: Use at your own risk.

Iulius Augustus (ID: 000000c768f589fb) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/14/2024 "2. CloudFlare DNS may not resolve archive.today, so if you experience DNS errors, try a different DNS service." when 99.9% works and this extension fails i think the problem is there a waste of time, much better solutions out there forgot to remove it, bumped 2-3 times when got updated, now is time to remove it for good, farewell

Salman Ravoof (ID: 0000005971d5ee1e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/15/2024 Works good, but the search fails if the URL has many attributes attached to its end. If there's a way it could select the base URL automatically before performing the search, that'd be amazing. Still, I like the functionality it offers. Thanks. Update 14/08/2024 - Still the same. I hope the author reads this review and provides an update to enable this feature.

Rashi Abramson (ID: 0000004c15f253e0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/27/2023 You need to use a compatible DNS resolver like 208.67.220.220 (OpenDNS) works for me.

simon su (ID: 0000006d01ab291a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/22/2023 thanks so much, it helps a lot!

RH (ID: 000000d4aed323ec) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/08/2023 Broken unfortunately
