archive.org is a treasure
does this actually help the internet archive in any way? as in are your local ressources used or ad revenue generated? i fail to see how telling them to archive everything you visit is of any help to them. other than you being basically a crawler, i guess
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.
