ByeWall Firefox

ByeWall

By: dpdev Add-on
Find publicly available archived copies of articles in one click, with Wayback fallback and safer URL handling.
xHeader
Modify request and response headers. No ads, no malware.

Features & Capabilities

Find an archived copy when a public article is unavailable or hard to access. Click ByeWall in your toolbar to open an Archive.today lookup in a new tab.

New in ByeWall 2: • Try Wayback Machine independently from the page or link context menu. • Use Alt + Shift + B (Option + Shift + B on macOS) for a quick lookup. • Open Archive options to paste an address or copy clean original and archive lookup links. • Choose explicitly whether to continue to a public snapshot submission page; ByeWall never automatically captures pages. • Minimal permissions: activeTab and contextMenus, with no access to all websites. • Blocks obvious local, credential-bearing and sensitive-token URLs and removes recognized tracking parameters.

Archive availability and article completeness vary. Providers may be unavailable or ask for verification. ByeWall cannot unlock every article or identify every private URL. Use public links you intend to share.

No analytics or reading-history database. Your selected URL is sent to the archive provider you choose, which receives normal browser-request information. Provider and browser history practices apply.

Is ByeWall 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.

ByeWall does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

ByeWall is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
