Works great

Quitando las pegas de que falta Bing cache, de que Megalodon está en japonés, de que Memento Time Travel hay que actualizarlo porque sale error 404 aunque la página funciona, y que Exalead tendrían que quitarlo porque parece que no funciona la web ya, está muy bien. Te ahorra el tener varias extensiones, así tienes una que sirve para todas tus necesidades de buscar versiones antiguas de sitios web o solucionar errores 404.
