Vandal Extension

Quickly navigate the web archive and travel back in time without leaving the current tab.

Important:
Vandal is not affiliated to the Internet Archive. It uses the Wayback Machine API and is a tiny and complementary subset to the mighty Wayback Machine.

Vandal focuses on ease-of-use and supports the following features for navigation and inspection:
📅 Calendar View: The default navigation mode which uses the least amount of surface area with a mini calendar view. Supports a calendar input that shows archival stats and allows selection of month across the years.
📊 Graph View: Navigation mode based on graphs of year and month.
🧭 Navigator: Built-in browser with ◀️ ▶️ 🔄 actions.
🎮 Navigation Panel: A bottom panel with navigation buttons to zip through archived snapshots for a date or across the month.
🕛 History Panel: Access your navigation history for a website.
🔩 Resource Drawer: A drawer that you can toggle to view timestamp differences of archived resources such as images, scripts, etc. relative to the page. This drawer updates automatically based on URL.
⌛ Historical View (beta): Displays the snapshot of a website throughout the years.

Checkout the website for more details.

Limitations:
In some cases, a website may not be supported, the extension will then notify you to use wayback machine.

Ankush Girotra (ID: 0000001d5db36805) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/27/2022 Absolutely the most polished internet archive frontend, website/extension/whatever. This is very well done. Thank you for open sourcing.

Kaine Dube (ID: 00000015ceec655a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/26/2022 Does this add on has searching browsing and navigating because I am only using this extension to time travel across the YouTube video platform for my Google chrome app?
