This incredible story underscores, amongst other things, the need for trust and transparency in arching tools, and for web archiving toolchain to be fully open source and archives to be verifiable.
What has the Webrecorder team been up to recently? A whole lot -- we've been a little too busy working on new features and improvements to have time to share, until now!
Here's latest blog post from @bitarchivist.net covering last three Browsertrix releases: webrecorder.net/blog/2025-12... !
Our browser extension, ArchiveWeb.page has recently surpassed 20,000 users on the Chrome Web store:
chromewebstore.google.com/detail/webre...
That's 20k+ users creating their own high-fidelity, interactive web archives, right in their own browsers!
If you use ArchiveWeb.page, leave us a review!

Browsertrix 1.18 is out, with support for large seed lists and a new email system so invites, password resets, and everything else is clearer, smoother, and prettier.
Also better QA and a setting to automatically fail a crawl when you get logged out.

New post! www.datarescueproject.org/welcome-back... Today, we feature @webrecorder.net and their user-friendly snapshots of government sites. They worked with @safeguardingdata.bsky.social on the Covid.gov mirror. This is a great example of what we can achieve with collaboration!
Whether it's a DH project, a personal site, or even gov site that is going offline, all you need is a WACZ file created with any of our tools (Browsertrix.com, ArchiveWeb.page) and you can host a web archive-powered mirror of your own, for free!
To get started, check out:

Love this new initiative by @webrecorder.net: GovArchive.us, mirroring dynamic sites as a static web archive, while preserving the previous URL structure. Could be a really compelling options for digital humanities projects, too.
I put together this mini-site for @webrecorder.net showcasing our US Government web archives
Replace “.gov” with “.govarchive.us” on any of the supported government sites to seamlessly browse archived versions, including sites like USAID that are now gone
Blog post in the quoted post!
Ever wanted to restore a taken down site from a web archive, with link navigation and references intact?
