- Rated 3 out of 5by Eli B., 7 years agoUseful, but there are too many cases where are page just happens to load too slowly for the extension's taste so it pops up offering to use the service, blocking the entire page.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13885219, 7 years agoIt would be nice if it would really only show up when the page is 404 and not because the page is coincidentally loading slowly.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13417472, 7 years agoSometimes there are false positives, and I have to turn off the add-on to view the site.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Erol Egemen, 7 years agoSo useful add-on.
But there is a problem with the context menu: When you right click on a link and select an option (like First Version) it shows the current site that you are visiting (the URL at your address bar) instead of the URL you clicked on.
I don't know if it's a bug or a feature but It would be very useful if it opens the link you right clicked upon :/
Also there is a bug unique to Firefox; if URL is not found, nothing happens. In Chrome it warns with a pop-up message.
Thank you for this add-on and glorious Archive.org itself <3 - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13832595, 7 years agoA nice extension. Generally works but occasionally has hiccups.
That said, updating to the newest version needlessly cluttered up my context menu with duplicates of the stuff available through the browser action (that I currently have to resort to userChrome.css to remove) and non-optionally added a requirement for notification privileges with no option to turn off whatever annoying popup it's planning to display.
I'm giving it a 3 out of 5 for those warts. - Rated 2 out of 5by Samir, 7 years agoVery useful, but buggy. Keeps trying to wayback sites that actually load and work.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Misttina, 7 years agoI love this extension for referencing information I have seen in the past that may not be present in search bars. Thank you for this addon!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12889199, 7 years agoWhich is quite a bit less than it would take you to do the same on the official site. It's a winner :)
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jonathan Cardona Rojas, 7 years agoIt works. Not quite as fast as one could wish, but I does it's work well. Very impressive. Looking for less clicks to save a page.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12663304, 7 years ago2 clicks in order to open a page or save it. Great.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Sebastian Krzyszkowiak, 8 years agoPlease don't change the URL. Please. That's horrible UX, makes me want to disable the extension right away.
