Show HN: ArchiveJump – Browser extension to instantly jump to archived articles

Hi HN! I built ArchiveJump, a browser extension that automatically redirects article links from major news sites to their archived versions on Archive.ph. THE PROBLEM: Reading articles from sites like NYT, WSJ, The Atlantic, etc. often hits paywalls. While Archive.ph exists, manually copying URLs and searching is tedious. THE SOLUTION: ArchiveJump detects when you click article links from 15+ supported news sites and either: - Searches Archive.ph for existing archived versions, OR - Jumps directly to the latest archived version (toggle option) KEY FEATURES: • Smart detection (only article links, not homepages) • Two modes: search archive.ph OR jump to latest version • Easy toggle controls via popup • Manual "jump" button for any page • Visual feedback (blue/green notifications) TECHNICAL DETAILS: - Vanilla JavaScript, Manifest V3 - Works on Chrome/Edge - No data collection, settings stored locally - Content script + popup interface The extension respects sites' content while leveraging publicly available archives. It's particularly useful for research, fact-checking, or when you've hit monthly limits.

Note: This tool uses Archive.ph, which archives publicly available content. Please respect publishers by subscribing if you regularly read their content.
