It’s good if you want the bulletproofness and archiving accuracy of archive.today, but don’t want Google spying on you (archive.today requires you to complete a recaptcha challenge every time you want to archive a web page and your cookies expired).

    I can’t use archive.today anymore, since they introduced a third-party CAPTCHA (from Google, I think). It’s a man-in-the-middle that monitors every archived article I visit and every Lemmy post that links me to one. Obviously, this is terrible for privacy.

    The CAPTCHA also demands permission to run mystery code on my machine before it will show me the article. Again, no thanks.

    So I’m back to archive.org’s Wayback Machine. I’ll have to give ghostarchive a look, too.
