Used to do what it says but now that you're required to sign in to save a webpage. I have a login error using my previously created account. Even signing into my archive.org account on the webpage doesn't change the status. I can't save anything now because of this.
I am not sure why an account is now required to use all functionalities, if it's required I would like to be able to actually sign in.

Works very well. I especially like the feature that shows you how many times a page has been saved, it helps when exploring old (or very new!) sites to find what I should archive.

It now requires a login. They claim to hold privacy to a high standard, but now want personally identifiable information? I understand that to offer a personal archive, that's necessary - but the anonymous option should be permitted (and the default setting). The 'private mode' is also not selectable without diving into settings. Regular user is probably going to forget about it. Do these settings and extension installation compromise incognito mode?

I would appreciate a change in the taskbar icon color if the page is unarchived, then I could decide if it should be archived or not. Or announced up-front after clicking the icon - instead of having to go look at the page on archive.org. Would be nice to know if: never archived, archived 1 month ago, archived longer than one day ago, archived today - some sites don't need frequent updating, some change on a minute-by-minute basis. I've seen PDFs with 1000s of snapshots - which are totally un-needed, as the resource has never changed.

"it can now [r]ead and change all your data on the websites you visit" - is required in order to seemlessly load and show archived content when a 404 is thrown during a websurfing session. However, for those paranoid people who do not want to give up control, it should be possible to make a clean extension - without such permissions - that allows you to grab the url, and when clicked, check and present the archive.org most-recent version.

Wayback Machine was ok until last update. Now the extension requires login for some operation, which would be ok. But email and password, which are accepted when logging in at the Wayback Machine-site is not accepted here, so login is impossible. Multiple password reset without change of this behaviour. Does not work any more. It is a pity.
