The Archiver: Web Extension (Chrome, Firefox)

The Archiver is a tool that lets you save a webpage to the top 3 popular Archival services available today. It also lets you check if the page has already been archived.

Thanks to Firefox's new WebExtension Api I literally only had to copy my original Chrome Extensions and build it for Firefox. It worked out of the box. I have since retired the original Firefox extension, It should still work but lacks a key feature: Archiving an image or a link you right click on. The original can only archive a page and is not context sensitive.

Simply right click on a Page, Image or Link and use the context menu to archive the page or check if the page has been previously saved.

Save all the Internets!

Installation

Installing on Firefox:

Addon can be found in the Firefox Addon store here

Chrome support is currently broken as i need to bring the plugin to CRX3 but hav no time ^^ You can fork this repo and enable developer mode in the chrome extensions tab and load the unpacked plugin to get it to work

Once i have time I will bring it to chrome properly through the store.

Usage

  1. Right click on a Page, Link or Image
  2. Use the Archivers menu to Save or Check your selected item.
  3. Save all the Internets!
  4. Set your options via the context menu to customize your archival experience.
