Install Compare

Vandal is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to facilitate easy navigation of web archives directly within your current browser tab. Utilizing the Wayback Machine API, it offers unique features such as a Calendar View for quick date selection with archival stats, a Graph View for visualized year and month navigation, and a built-in Navigator with standard browsing controls. Additional functionalities include a Navigation Panel for swift snapshot browsing, a History Panel to track your website navigation, and a Resource Drawer to inspect timestamp differences of archived resources like images and scripts. Vandal also features a beta Historical View that visualizes website snapshots over the years. As an open-source project under AGPLv3, Vandal complements the Wayback Machine by focusing on ease-of-use and efficient archive exploration. Note that some websites may not be supported, with prompts advising use of the Wayback Machine when necessary. Explore more at the official website and GitHub repository.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Vandal requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Vandal has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
