Recent reviews

It doesn't work for the mass majority of webpages. It's only effective on finding domains. It doesn't even work any differently versus the Wayback website it's based off on. It's just an extention that automatically checks screenshots of the archive. It doesn't actually view the website's old version history, which is what you would hope from an archive website. If you're looking for specifics on archive webpages, this is not the plugin for you.
