The ocean of shitty websites is rising (much more aggressively than the real oceans). To help in the de-shitification, this bookmarklet is quite useful:

javascript:void window.open("https://web.archivep75mbjunhxc6x4j5mwjmomyxb573v42baldlqu56ruil2oiad.onion/web/"+encodeURIComponent(location.href));

You simply create a bookmark on your bookmarks bar and paste that text in, in place of the URL. If you are visiting a website that gives you problems, simply clicking that bookmarklet will prefix the Internet Archive Wayback Machine in front of the current URL. It’s a notable time-saver, as opposed to copy-paste that text every time.

There is a flaw: if the target website simply drops packets (i.e. it’s a tor-hostile site), then the URL is malformed. It attempts to visit archive.org/…/about: Or more often, it just does nothing.

Any JS folks know how to fix that so it works on sites that time out?

(edit) bonus points--

Some shitty sites (Siteground?) redirect to:

https://$original_host/.well-known/captcha/?y=ipr:$IPaddy:$random_real_number&r=$original_path

So it would help if the bookmarklet would strip out the garbage that was added before visiting archive.org.
