If no copies exist, the extension provides one-button access to preserve the page in various web archives and to easily view the page once it has been preserved.\n\n## Features\n\n- Seemlessly see how well-archived a live web page is while browsing.\n- Using the interface, quickly navigate to past captures of the page and traverse available captures from multiple web archive.\n- No captures? No problem! With a single button click, Mink will submit the web page you are currently viewing to multiple web archives.\n- Too many captures? When the set gets large, Mink intutitively organizes the set of captures for easy, hierarchical, time-based selection.\n\n## Installation\n\n* Go to the [Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mink/jemoalkmipibchioofomhkgimhofbbem)\n* Click \"Add to Chrome\" to install Mink.\n* Once installed, click the Mink icon in the Chrome toolbar to see how well-archived the current page is and navigate to the past.\n\n## Usage\n\nThe extension works by querying the archives when you browse the web. For each page you visit, Mink sends an asynchronous request to a Memento aggregator and displays the number of mementos (web pages for the URL in the archives) using a badge over the Mink/Memento icon in the browser's button bar.\n\n### Selecting a Memento\n\nFor web pages with few mementos, the dropdown menu is the most accessible way to view the memento in a web archive (e.g., [Internet Archive's Wayback Machine](http://web.archive.org/)). To do this, click the Mink button bar icon, select the date/time from the dropdown and click the \"View\" button. When viewing a memento, selecting the icon again will return an interface that allows you to navigate to other mementos or quickly return to the live web.\n\n### No mementos? No problem!\n\nIf no mementos exist in the archive, the extension will indicate this with a red \"no mementos\" icon and give the option to submit the URL to various web archives for preservation.\n\n## Examples\n1. [A niche site with few mementos](https://github.com/machawk1/Mink/wiki/Examples#use-case-1-a-niche-site-with-few-mementos)\n1. [A popular site with many mementos](https://github.com/machawk1/Mink/wiki/Examples#use-case-2-a-popular-site-with-many-mementos)\n\n## Development\n\nChrome supports debugging extensions by loading them from the local file system. To do this, go to `Window \u003e Extensions`, enabled the `Developer mode` switch, click the `Load unpacked` button, and select the `mink-plugin` directory in the working directory clone of this repository.\n\nFor packaging the extension and releasing a new version, enter the `mink-plugin` directory, type\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003ezip -r /where/to/store/resulting/mink.zip *\u003c/blockquote\u003e\n\n...access the [Chrome Developer Dashboard](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard/) and upload the `.zip` to the Mink entry.\n\n## Configuration\n\nSettings are available to customize Mink's functions and data retention including: \n\n* Customizing the source of the Memento aggregator Memento aggregators.\n* Tailoring the TimeMap caching setting for efficient querying.\n* Defining Ignore Lists for sites where you don't want Mink to run.\n\nTo access these setting, right click on the Mink icon and select Options.\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/machawk1/Mink/blob/main/meta/README/minksettings_2.5.5.3.png?raw=true\"\u003e\n\n# Contributing\n\nContributions welcomed.
