Love the functionality. What I would love to see added would be an option to set a page to automatically save the page using the Wayback Machine, if it isn't already archived. Also, it's difficult to see the icon for me since I'm using a dark theme on Windows and Chrome. It would be nice if you could have a different-colored icon, or maybe have a background for the icon so that it would work better for users like me. Small issue I know, as most people aren't on dark mode, but it would definitely help.
