ao3 saver

automatically backup ao3 works so you never lose what you're reading again

ao3 saver is a Chrome extension designed to automatically back up Archive of Our Own (AO3) works as you read them. This ensures that if a story is ever taken down or becomes unavailable, you can easily access a backup version stored on the ao3 saver servers.

The extension features an intuitive menu that keeps a history of each work you've visited, allowing you to quickly find deleted stories you've previously read. Privacy is a top priority: no data about what you view is stored on the servers except on your local device, and backups are not personally linked to you.

With ongoing support and reliable servers, ao3 saver guarantees that your favorite AO3 stories remain accessible for years to come. For questions or feedback, users can contact support via mail@ao3saver.com.

It works great, i just wish there was a way to delete fics if you accidentally saved one you don't want to save or you reread and accidentally save a fic multiple times, unless there is a way and i'm just too stupid to find it lol

hi! ive been using this extension for well over a year and a half now, and it has been working great. I'm not sure if it has something to do with my computer, but today I checked the extension and saw that ALL of the backed up fics that I had saved were gone. Just a big blank space, all missing. I tested out just now and new works are saving just fine, but everything from the past year is gone :( I have been using the same computer since then. Is there someway to recover them? And if not, is there a way to prevent the extension from resetting in the future?? Thanks!

I love it, especially when it's able to archive works that are so big that using AO3's regular download options don't seem to work (as in, overwhelming to the system)! <3 Though I would also love it if the archiving wasn't solely done in HTML format, I hope there's a way to include PDF too.
