Recent reviews

Worked good for the most part but says they'll cancel support in January 2023, and recommends getting the official extension from the Archive themselves. Their icon is the same but inverted colors. So don't bother installing this one. Official extension: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wayback-machine/fpnmgdkabkmnadcjpehmlllkndpkmiak

Minimalistic and does what it supposted to do

Pretty great! At worst it's a bit slow at times, but I think that has more to do with the Internet Archive being under a heavy load and not the extension.
