Wayback Everywhere: Automatically Redirect Pages to Internet Archive

Wayback Everywhere is a browser extension/addon that automatically redirects all pages to Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, except for the sites in the Excludes List. With this addon, you can easily access archived versions of webpages and explore their historical content.

One of the main features of Wayback Everywhere is its Popup menu, which allows users to add or remove sites from the Excludes List, temporarily disable the addon, and access the Settings and Help pages. The addon also has the ability to automatically detect Wayback Machine site's error messages and take appropriate actions. For example, when the Wayback Machine site throws an error message indicating that a page is available on the web, the addon automatically loads the save page URL in the Wayback Machine. Similarly, when the site throws an error message indicating that it cannot load a page due to exclusion from Wayback Machine, the addon adds the site to the Excludes List and loads the live webpage.

The Settings page of Wayback Everywhere allows users to manage the Excludes List, add or remove sites manually, and perform a factory reset if needed. Users can also enable console logging if they are interested in viewing system logs.

Overall, Wayback Everywhere is a useful addon for those who want to explore the archived versions of webpages and have more control over their browsing experience.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
