An essential browser extension, I always install it right after Ublock Origin.

It does exactly what is says. And the site map and Error 404 popup features are so helpful.

Seems easy to use, site map is a nice feature, appreciate how easy it is to see how a website changes over time, very good for accountability on the internet.
