右クリックでリンク先もweb archiveで参照できるなど便利な点が色々あり重宝していますが、最近この拡張機能が暴走を起こしているようでchromeのCPU使用率が常に100%になります。切るとCPU使用率が途端に30%に下がるのでこの拡張機能が原因であることは確かです。 この不具合が解消されることを願っております。

Same as Skander Helali, CPU usage is shot up recently. I'm on Chrome stable, not beta. Other than that, a useful extension.

Edit: indeed, fixed as of version 3.4.1. I don't know what happened but the extension is now using so much CPU on the latest Chrome Beta. Had to disable it on my laptop where the extra cpu usage was quite noticeable. Is there a bug? A crypto miner? No clue.

いちいちウェイバックマシンにいってurlをコピペして見るという作業をなくせるので便利 欠点は日本語非対応なところ

It used to work perfectly, but about a month ago, it suddenly said that I needed to sign in to use it. If I need to sign in to use it, then why doesn't it send me to the page to do so? it's useless without being able to be signed in.

Useful for when you want to make sure the pages you're reading will still be around in some form in the future, and to easily get at additional context. (Just remember that it checks *every page you view* against the Wayback Machine, so turn it off when you're not using it!) If you enable auto-save, be sure to add to the exclusions list so it doesn't waste time trying to archive your webmail or control panel. There *is* a private mode where it doesn't do anything until you ask it to. But that leaves you with essentially the same features as a pair of bookmarklets to check or save the current page.

Love it, I'd give 5 stars if the devs added a "⏹️ Disable context menu upon Right Click"
