Summary
Retrieve a dead link from an archive service with these shortcuts:
- CTRL+3: get an archive.org link (Wayback Machine) and copy the archive link to the clipboard
- CTRL+4: get an archive.is link and copy the archive link to the clipboard
- CTRL+5: get an webcitation.org link and copy the archive link to the clipboard
- CTRL+6: retrieve the current page from Google Cache
If you want to get an archive link for a page that no longer exists, either:
- right click the dead link and select the appropriate option
- press CTRL+3, CTRL+4, CTRL+5 and CTRL+6 on the talk page with only one link (works on wiki talk pages only that use MediaWiki)
- right click on the page you want to restore and select the option you wish
- Customize the toolbar and add the toolbar icon. Now you can use the toolbar icon too :)
Included alternative shortcuts:
- archive.org: µ, 3 (numpad/qwerty), 3 (azerty)
- archive.is: 4 (numpad/qwerty), 4 (azerty)
User reviews
Its good. However if the web page is not found in web.archive.org also, then it repeatedly tries to load the same archive page again and again in infinite loop.

Good extension, but one alternative may prove more useful for you.
If you primarily use the archive.org Wayback Machine, I would probably recommend their extension over this, as it can automatically fetch pages from it that receive 404 errors, which provides a seamless experience. (A feature this app may consider adding, along a configurable default source source.)
However, this extension is useful in that in addition to the Wayback Machine, it also provides access to archive.is and Google WebCache.
