>Hopefully they are also making substantial donations to the Internet Archive, since they will be directing a lot of traffic into it and basically using their infrastructure as a feature on their main product

WebArchive link is hidden so deep in the "About the source" page that vast majority of Google users won't even know that it exists.

There is excellent browser extension called Web Archives[0] that hooks all major web archiving services e.g. Archive.is, Wayback Machine and others in one place.

No kidding:

Click a result's three dots menu. Underneath all the main call to action buttons (Visit, share, save) is a Wikipedia description of the site. Underneath that is a "More about this page" button. On this separate page is a description of the company, social media links, reviews, generic results for the company, and, finally, some 1100px down, "See previous versions on Internet Archive's Wayback Machine" in a 14px font: https://imgur.com/a/IMgVDpV

What's the ETA for this being removed due to lack of use...


That’s probably a good thing, people who really do research old archived stuff will dig and find it but others who casually click won’t bring archive.org to its knees
