Navigator for Web Archive

Vandal - The Ultimate Navigator for Web Archive

"Vandal" is a Chrome extension designed to provide an effective way to navigate the web archive. It's not affiliated to the Internet Archive but uses the Wayback Machine API serving as a complementary tool to it. With features like Calendar view, Graph view, Navigator, Navigation Panel, History Panel, and Resource Drawer, Vandal ensures effortless browsing through historical and archived web content. The extension has an open-source public license (AGPLv3). However, it may not support some websites, prompting users to use the Wayback Machine.

User reviews

Absolutely the most polished internet archive frontend, website/extension/whatever. This is very well done. Thank you for open sourcing.

Does this add on has searching browsing and navigating because I am only using this extension to time travel across the YouTube video platform for my Google chrome app?
