Another Way In

Smart recovery for broken pages. Finds archives, retries servers, and gets you where you were trying to go.

Broken page? Another Way In finds you a way around it — archives, retries, downtime checks, and more. Browser error pages tell you what went wrong but not what to do about it. Another Way In fixes that. 404, 410, 451 - page gone Check the Wayback Machine for an archived copy, navigate up to a parent path, or search the site for where the content moved. 500, 502, 503, 504 - server broken Find out if the site is down for everyone or just you. Auto-retry in the background and get a notification the moment it comes back - no need to keep refreshing. 401, 403 - can't get in Jump to the login page, try a private window, or clear out stale cookies that might be blocking you. DNS failure - domain gone Search for where the site moved, try www vs non-www, or flush your DNS cache. 429 - rate limited Wait a moment and retry automatically, or see what the site itself has to say. 511 - captive portal Opens the network login page directly. Handy when hotel or airport Wi-Fi silently blocks everything. Popup - any page, any time Click the extension icon on any page to save it to the Wayback Machine, browse its full archive history, jump to the oldest known capture, or browse recent snapshots with capture counts. Useful before a page disappears, not just after. On private network addresses or URLs containing auth tokens and session keys, archive tools are automatically disabled. No setup. No account. Just quietly there when something breaks. A note on fast-loading sites: On sites with very fast CDNs (BBC, GitHub, etc.) the page may briefly appear before AWI steps in, or not at all on the very first visit. This is a browser limitation - subsequent loads will intercept correctly. AWI works best on the slow, broken, and unreachable. V1.0.1 Fixed live search for URLs with subdomains V1.0.0 First version
