Wayback Machine Auto-Archiver: Archive Webpages Automatically

"Wayback Machine Auto-Archiver" is a Chrome extension that automatically archives every webpage you browse. These webpages are archived by the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. Through this process, the extension must view the pages you visit, indirectly logging your browsing history. These URLs are exclusively sent to the Internet Archive for archival, which may record your IP address. The icon in the toolbar is sourced from http://freeicons.io/

Well that's a bit sad... Seems like Chrome is removing this extension now. Would be great to see the source code of this

Will this continue to be updated and maintained in the future in light of the policy changes?
