Detour Reader
Read any page on archive.today
Detour Reader opens the page in your active tab on archive.today. One click jumps to the newest existing snapshot, and if there isn't one yet it archives the page fresh. It is handy when a page is slow, broken, or likely to change, and when you want a stable copy you can come back to.
It also gets you past soft paywalls: instead of the live page you get an archived copy that loads clean, with no popups, cookie walls, or newsletter overlays in the way. The archive is permanent too, so a link you save today still resolves to the same text years from now, even after the original is edited or taken down. That makes it good for citing and preserving what a page actually said. Use it responsibly. It is meant for reading and keeping a record, not for dodging subscriptions you should be paying for.
