## Description

The Archiver is a powerful browser extension designed to streamline digital archiving. It allows users to save any page URL, image URL, or link URL to the two most popular archival services: Archive.org's Wayback Machine and Archive.is (Archive.Today). By simply right-clicking any webpage, image, or link, users can quickly archive their selection or verify if it has already been archived, saving time and effort compared to manual methods.

Privacy-conscious users will appreciate that The Archiver does not collect, transmit, or sell any user data. The extension acts as a simple interface that sends URLs directly from the user's browser to the archiving services without exposing any additional information. This makes archiving faster, more convenient, and secure. The Archiver is an essential tool for researchers, journalists, historians, and anyone needing reliable web content preservation.
