It will also detect when a webpage you are trying to visit is dead and will offer to replay an archived version

Is this just for personal purposes or would I be contributing to the internet archive?

Purely to contribute to the internet archive. There’s the “save page now” button that’ll save the webpage to your account, but the automatic downloader that I refer to in the post doesn’t do that and is purely for the sake of expanding the archive.

The I’ll definitely be doing this. Happy to contribute to the archive, especially because it came in clutch during the other site’s blackout. Digital preservation is not supported enough
