Extension summary
This is the app I made for the Congressional App Challenge 2018. It automatically archives every webpage you visit using the Wayback Machine by the Internet Archive.
In order archive web pages, the extension needs to see which pages you visit, which enables it to log your browsing history. These URLs are only sent to the Internet Archive for archival, and the Internet Archive may log your IP address.
The icon that displays in the toolbar once the extension is installed is from http://freeicons.io/
