Nifty and useful browser plugin/extension - robkelk - 01-23-2017

This is both nifty and useful: plugins to find "missing" web pages. If a page returns a 404 error, the plugin will offer to go find an older copy of the page in the Wayback Machine.

Chrome (one-step install): http://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... lkndpkmiak

Firefox (three-step install process): http://blog.archive.org/2016/08/09/no- ... ox-add-on/

Can't find versions for IE, Opera, or Safari, sorry.

Looks a lot like Resurrect Pages, except with fewer features...?

Mm, nice. I'll have to see if the Firefox version installs in Seamonkey when I get home tonight.

Well, it was written by the folks at archive.org... If you know of a third-party plugin that does the same and more, please share!

Like I said, Resurrect Pages. I don't know if there's a version for other browsers. It also gives the option to check the google cache, and adds an option in the right-click menu for any link to look it up.
