Summary
Analyze keywords

This web extension allows you to open links either via the context menu or via the badge next to the address bar in archive sites such as the Wayback Machine (https://web.archive.org/) or https://archive.is/.

"Archived" web pages act somewhat like a proxy because they don't load a page's 3rd party requests or assets (sometimes breaking the page) so some of your privacy is retained.
