Features & Capabilities

Archiphilo is a browser extension that can automatically redirect you to the archive.ph / archive.today version of news articles from supported sites, helping ensure access to preserved content—even if the original page is unavailable.

Features

  • Automatic Redirect: Instantly forwards articles from popular news sites to archive.ph.
  • Custom Domain Support: Easily manage your own list of monitored domains directly from the extension side panel.

  • User-Friendly Interface: Clean, intuitive popup for adding the current domain. Easily access settings and manage your monitored sites.
  • Automatic Summary of Archived Content: Use your OpenAI, Claude or Gemini Flash API key to generate a short AI-powered summary, so you can decide at a glance whether an article is worth reading.
  • Privacy-Focused: Only interacts with sites you specify—no unnecessary permissions.

User Reviews

Stumbled across this totally by chance, gave it a whirl with zero expectations. Honestly, I’m not even a little disappointed. Runs solid like 80 to 90% of the time with the news stuff I’m diving into. I tried some of that AI gear with Google’s Flash thing, mostly ‘cause it’s free with your Google account. It gets the job done, but not sure if it’s something you absolutely need. Could you create a version for Android Firefox? That would be an absolute game changer since I’m cruising on mobile like 90% of the time

Is Archiphilo Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Archiphilo requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
