I used to have almost 10k bookmarks that I was keeping from circa 2010 to 2017. Only to realize the majority of them were now useless. Some kind of tool like this is way overdue to become commonspread.
Archive.org and wayback machine should ask for people to submit snaps of pages using this tool directly into the archive - especially during world events.
This would allow digtal archeologists to grok the sentiment of the world during that era...
(aside: when I interviewed at twitter they asked me what I thought twitter was, and I said I thought it was a global sentiment engine...)
But kudos to the world for having us now in the AI birth onto the global internet, as a wayback machine, coupled with AIs and LLMs and this tool - will allow one to ask questions about history in ways that will be very interesting.

The Internet Archive cannot trust arbitrary content previously archived, so it is more optimal to have whatever archival tools or operations you’re performing to make a request to Wayback to take a snapshot at the same time.
If you’re bookmarking something, archive it too!
