Software Reviews and Criticism

By bd designr

What it is.

Somebody once figured out that people and companies might publish claims on the internet (for example specific claims, warrantees, etc.) in their advertisments, and later, after they got caught lying, change their ads and pretend they never made those claims. The Wayback PC scours the internet and takes periodic snapshots of websites which are stored in a massive database. That way, you can 'Go Back In Time' and see what claims were made by people and companies on their webpages even if those claims are later deleted. The Internet is Eternal.

Pop Ups

This is a good extension that is ruined by pop-ups. I don't know why the developer felt we needed more pop-ups in our life. I installed it, so it's not like I am going to forget it's there. But there it is interrupting my work by popping up a box asking if I want to see an archived history of the page. Boo to that. I turned it off.

Amazing!

This Safari extension is incredibly useful, and honestly makes browsing the web pretty fun. You could probably imagine it allows you to quickly view older snapshots of websites, but one of the features I really love is being able to quickly archive any website. There's a little red number above the icon that will tell you how many times the site has been archived, and if you click it, it'll tell you the last time it was archived. I love this feature, because now whenever I find a website that either isn't archived at all or hasn't been in a long time, I just archive it! Makes me feel a little more accomplished even if all I'm doing is using the Internet like a lazy bum. I personally haven't experienced any of the issues the other reviewers are mentioning - maybe they've been patched, or maybe I'm just lucky. All in all, this extension is useful and fun, so I reccomend it.
