Features & Capabilities

Wayback Machine Tools adds convenient shortcuts to any page on web.archive.org for accessing the original, unmodified version of an archived snapshot, and its source code.

View the raw page, and it's source code without the Wayback Machine toolbar and other bloat.
On-page buttons injected automatically on any Wayback snapshot
Popup menu available from the toolbar on any tab
Save a page as a snapshot to Wayback Machine via the popup menu
Open a page to its latest snapshot on the Wayback Machine
Lightweight: no data collection, no external requests, no tracking

How it works:

The Wayback Machine serves snapshots at URLs like: https://web.archive.org/web/20070102081009/http://example.com/

The "id_" suffix tells the Archive to skip its toolbar injection and link rewriting, returning the original capture verbatim: https://web.archive.org/web/20070102081009id_/http://example.com/

This extension simply adds that suffix for you, and offers a one-click path to view-source when you need to inspect the underlying HTML.

Is Wayback Machine Tools Safe?

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.

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

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 Add-ons Store, 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.

Wayback Machine Tools is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
