| 2024-11-16 |  | | en | The extension seems like its working but auto-save and manually saving a page results in "Save Failed" error, making me go to the website directly to save a page. |
| 2024-11-15 |  | | en | The archive.org extension and the servers are still back. |
| 2024-11-10 |  | | en | As of today 10-NOV-2024, I am unable to archive any page when logged in on this Chrome extension, it is asking me to log in even when I AM ALREADY LOGGED IN. If I log out I am able to archive by clicking on the Save Page Now button, but I will miss out on the outlink and screenshot archiving feature because those need me to be logged in. |
| 2024-11-11 |  | | en | I love the idea, but every time I attempt to save a page, it tells me "Save Failed," and when I hover over it, it says that I need to be "logged in to use Save Page Now," despite the fact that I am logged in. Are you able to fix this? |
| 2024-11-05 |  | | en | Usually works great. Not today. Signed in with my correct password, It even assured me I was signed in. I try to save things and it tells me, "You must be signed in to save". Restarted Chrome, still not fixed. |
| 2024-11-04 |  | | en | This extension is a hugely valuable tool. I use this daily. Very convenient, very reliable. Features that are very useful are providing options to archive count, archive date, outlinks and screenshots, sitemap views, private mode, and links to view previous archives of sites. Thanks to all those who help maintain this great tool! |

| 2024-10-30 | | | en | The extension was great when it was working. It stopped working after the Wayback Machine had DDoS attacks and updated their security in October 2024. The website works, but there has been no word of the extension being fixed. I'll update my review if it ever works again. |
| 2024-10-23 |  | | en | I can’t say enough good things about the Wayback Machine! It’s like a time machine for the internet. I love being able to check out old versions of my favorite websites or see how things looked years ago. It's super easy to use, and it’s helped me out so many times, whether for research or just out of curiosity. Huge shoutout to the Internet Archive for all the hard work they put into preserving our digital history. If you haven’t tried it yet, definitely give it a go—you won’t regret it! |
| 2024-10-21 | | | en | I see the website is back up, but the extension isn't archiving or reporting archive files. ETA on functionality? |
