Web Archives is an open-source browser extension for finding archived and cached versions of web pages across multiple search engines like the Wayback Machine, Archive.is, and Google cache. It supports searching from the context menu or toolbar and is available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, and Safari.
Use cases
- view an archived version of a web page via the Wayback Machine
- open Google's cached copy of a page
- right-click a link to search its archives without visiting it
- check whether a deleted page still exists in web archives
- compare cached versions of a page across multiple archive services
- research historical versions of a URL for SEO analysis
When to avoid
- you need programmatic or bulk archive access rather than a browser UI
- you want to archive pages yourself rather than search existing archives
- you need a headless or API-based archive lookup tool
