# 🗃 ArchiveBox Browser Extension
This is a browser extension (works in Chrome, Firefox, and Chrome-like browsers) that lets you automatically send pages from domains you specify to your ArchiveBox instance. This has a couple of benefits:
- You have a fulltext search of your browsing history ready at your fingertips
- Prevent link rot for important information!
- Access important information even if you're offline
*✨ Contributed by [TJ Horner (@tjhorner)](https://github.com/tjhorner)*
## Download
- [Chrome/Edge/Other Chromium](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/habonpimjphpdnmcfkaockjnffodikoj)
- [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/archivebox-exporter/)
## Setup
1. Set up an [ArchiveBox](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox#quickstart) server and make sure it's accessible to the machine you're browsing on
2. Configure your ArchiveBox server to allow URL submissions without requiring login ([more info here...](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Configuration#public_index--public_snapshots--public_add_view))
*Alternatively: if you stay signed in to your ArchiveBox instance in the same browser, it will share your login credentials.*
```bash
archivebox config --set PUBLIC_ADD_VIEW=True
# (make sure to restart the server after if you apply this change)
```
4. Configure the extension to point to your ArchiveBox server's base URL (e.g. `http://localhost:8000`, `https://archivebox.example.com`, etc.)
5. ✅ *Test it out by right-clicking on any page and selecting `ArchiveBox Exporter > Archive Current Page`*
## Features
- Different archive modes
- Allowlist mode doesn't archive pages by default, and lets you specify domains or regexes to archive
- Blocklist mode archives all visited pages by default, but lets you specify domains or regexes to not archive
- Archive any arbitrary page with the "Archive Current Page" context menu item
- Archive any link with the "Archive Link" context menu item

## Development
If you wish to contribute to (or just build for yourself) this extension, you will need to download and install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/).
Once that's installed, navigate to this project's root and run `npm install` to install dependencies.
To build a production version (minified, optimized, etc.), run `npm run build`.
If you plan on making changes often, you can use the command `npm run dev` to automatically rebuild the extension as you modify files.
Both commands will produce an output in the `dist` directory.

## Alternative Extensions for Archiving
Other browser extensions that also do web archiving, may be a better fit if ArchiveBox doesn't suit your needs.
- https://archiveweb.page/ + https://replayweb.page (super high fidelity archiving extension by the Webrecorder team)
- https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile (a great extension for saving pages into a single `.html` file, built-in to ArchiveBox already)
- https://web.hypothes.is/start/ (extension focused on annotating, but also supports archiving)
- https://memex.garden/ (another project focused on annotating that supports archiving)
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/save-page-we/ (a Firefox extension that also saves webpages as a single HTML file)
