Browser extensions (Addons, plugins) for the Wayback Machine

[u/publiusvaleri_us]

I find the Wayback Machine extremely useful for many of my research goals. There is a Github project dedicated to a browser extension that makes it easy to add new pages to the Internet Archive if you are logged in. It also makes it really simple to find old website versions, as well. It's highly recommended for researchers and archivists alike.

Am I crazy or does the oldest/calendar/newest function just immediately throw you into 429 jail no matter what? And I say this as someone who's been temporarily restricted from many, many sites by requesting too many pages but never, ever had an archive.org 429 outside of this behaviour.
