Made a Chrome/ium plugin that retrieves the archived current URL

Basically I needed this and couldn't find it, so I made it.

 

https://github.com/duoi/Wayback-Machine-Chrome-Plugin

 

It adds an extra selection to your context menu (when you right click on a page) called "Wayback Machine" that opens a new tab with the most recent archived copy of the current URL from the internet archive's wayback machine.

 

Installation is straight forward. Download both files, put them into a folder, drag the folder into the extensions page.

 

I'd add it to the Google Chrome Store but I'm not paying them $5.

 

Enjoy

Nice, occasionally find myself looking up old stuff or hitting that when a site disappears, convenient time-saver that.
