    I think your missing the point. As you browse throughout your lifetime you will eventually come across a site that went down that you used to frequent. If you are contributing in this manner the content you viewed is guaranteed to be archived and you will know where to start looking since you already had this set up. It just also adds the extra benefit for everyone else who wants to look also.

      i still think this kind of shotgun approach is not ideal, and the extension seems more like a service to me than a way to help the ia. so “help contribute” is not the wording i would chose. but i very well might be missing the point. i do love the internet archive and their fight for information freedom, don’t get me wrong. this was more of a nitpick.
