Just did a quick update to the add on, mainly to be able to quickly enable it and disable it, just clicking an icon in the URL bar.

Also open sourced it

I am just wondering if someamount of traffic is still going to reddit? Because it seems to open the link as a reddit and direct it to archive.org

You can read the code and the feature being used, which even if you see the url displayed, internally the request never leaves your browser.
