Dylan 2022-02-17: 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.

I S 2021-12-31: Ten starts! Cleanest, fastest extension I ever saw here! The only host it talks to is 'http://web.archive.org/web/*/'+url; Best!

Jonathan Howell 2017-08-05: Works perfectly and exactly the way I'd want it to. Preferred to the other Wayback extensions.

Stephen Wicklund 2017-05-19: Good, but this one is better: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/go-back-in-time/hgdahcpipmgehmaaankiglanlgljlakj (it lets you access from Google cache, bing cache, etc. in addition to wayback)

Andrius Žilėnas 2016-10-21: it is expected to launch web.archive.org if page not exist, but it doesn't

Job van der Zwan 2016-09-01: This is great, but nowadays many links to broken pages redirect to a different page before I can click this button (example: jsperf). If I could right click + "open on Archive.org" on any link the add-on would be perfect! :)

Mattias Andersson 2015-08-06: Thankfully, this extension *does* now go to the *page-specific* Wayback entry, not just the entry for the domain. Yay!

Tom Haczewski 2015-01-12: The new update is perfect. You can easily get to the Wayback Machine's entry for any URL you're on so quickly. Brilliant!
