It doesn't work for the mass majority of webpages. It's only effective on finding domains. It doesn't even work any differently versus the Wayback website it's based off on. It's just an extention that automatically checks screenshots of the archive. It doesn't actually view the website's old version history, which is what you would hope from an archive website. If you're looking for specifics on archive webpages, this is not the plugin for you.

Ten starts! Cleanest, fastest extension I ever saw here! The only host it talks to is 'http://web.archive.org/web/*/'+url; Best!

Works perfectly and exactly the way I'd want it to. Preferred to the other Wayback extensions.

Good, but this one is better: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/go-back-in-time/hgdahcpipmgehmaaankiglanlgljlakj (it lets you access from Google cache, bing cache, etc. in addition to wayback)

it is expected to launch web.archive.org if page not exist, but it doesn't

This is great, but nowadays many links to broken pages redirect to a different page before I can click this button (example: jsperf). If I could right click + "open on Archive.org" on any link the add-on would be perfect! :)

Thankfully, this extension *does* now go to the *page-specific* Wayback entry, not just the entry for the domain. Yay!

Great for finding archived versions of web pages that no longer exist.
