Save To The Wayback Machine is a convenient Chrome extension that enables users to quickly archive web pages to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It allows you to save entire pages, images, and links directly via the right-click context menu. The extension also detects if a page can be archived and displays the last time the current page was saved, helping you track your archived content effectively. With an easy-to-use interface, you can monitor how many pages you've archived, making web preservation effortless.

This tool is perfect for users who want to preserve content for research, citation, or personal use without navigating away from their browsing experience. It is an unofficial extension, independent from the Internet Archive. For transparency, the source code and release history are publicly available on GitHub, along with its privacy policy.

Please update this add-on so it'll still work on saving the page I told it to archive when I switch to a new tab in Chromium-based Microsoft Edge. Thank you so much!

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Save To The Wayback Machine requires very minimum permissions.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.
