What it does

Vandal is a browser extension that allows you to quickly navigate the web archive and go back in time without leaving your current tab. It provides a built-in browser with access to your navigation history, timestamp differences of page resources, etc.

Navigator for the Web Archive

Vandal is not affiliated to Internet Archive. As for features, it's more of a tiny subset to the mighty Wayback Machine , a web archive service provided by them and it is built using the Wayback Machine API. Also, to know more, checkout the list of limitations below.

With regards to it's purpose, the Internet Archive has long been a bastion of universal access to knowledge and personally, Wayback helped me find a defunct speech transcript , so am hoping this tool would bring more contributors to the efforts of Internet Archive .

    Hey. I’ve been working on Rearview, a browser extension that makes browsing history more useful. It’s available for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. What it does: - Full-text Search: Search page content, not just URLs or titles. - More Filter: Organize history by date, time, or visits. - AI Assistant: Get insights from your history. (Optional, with your own api key.) Everything stays local in IndexedDB. Feedback & Feature request welcome. BTW, since Firefox does not provide a favicon URLs implementation (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1315616),I am currently requesting…
