ao3 saver

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

What is ao3 saver?
'ao3 saver' is a Chrome extension that backs up AO3 works, enabling uninterrupted access even when they're taken down. When a user starts reading an AO3 work, it is automatically saved as a PDF to ao3 saver servers. It also records the history of each work visited for easy future access. The storage is private and localised, with only the PDFs stored on the server without any personal attachment. The extension assures server support for the foreseeable future.

Summary

Automatically backup ao3 works so you never lose what you're reading again. When you start reading an ao3 work, ao3 saver servers will automatically back up the work you're reading. If the story ever goes down, the 404 page you're met with will have a button to take you right to the backup pdf stored on the ao3 saver server.

The ao3 menu assists in finding lost works by keeping a history of each work you've visited. You can search and find a deleted work your previously viewed with this extension with ease.

No data on what you view is kept on anything but your local device. The only thing the server stores is the pdf files for the works completely unattached from you.

Please let me know if you have any issues or suggestions for this extension. You can contact me at [email protected].

I'm planning on keeping the servers up for this extension and continue support for it for years into the future.

What a fantastic idea for an extension! I haven't truly needed any of the backups yet, but I did confirm they're available, and it brings me peace of mind to know they exist. The 404 page with quick links to search on both ao3 saver and archive.org is another nice touch. I really appreciate the developer's generosity in providing this extension (and its server space) for free.
