Digital is only permanent if we duplicate everything y’all
Tbh, most websites I visit probably aren’t that important that they need to be archived. I would assume installing this extension would just contribute to a bloated archive with little additional value.
From my understanding, the Internet Archive’s goal (granted that they manage to get through their current dilemma) is to archive the whole Internet, I wouldn’t consider it to be bloat.
My desire to help archive.org preserve the Internet is conflicting with my desire not to have anybody tracking my browsing habits.
I get you, the internet archive is a good cause however
I believe the automatic archiving has to be manually enabled by going to the settings, selecting the general tab and enabling “Auto save page”.
Thanks, I just looked at my settings and realized that I hadn’t checked that box.
Is this just for personal purposes or would I be contributing to the internet archive?
Purely to contribute to the internet archive. There’s the “save page now” button that’ll save the webpage to your account, but the automatic downloader that I refer to in the post doesn’t do that and is purely for the sake of expanding the archive.
