John Navas's Chrome Extension Reviews & Ratings 2026
Read 124 verified user reviews and ratings for Chrome extensions by John Navas. Compare features, performance metrics, and real user experiences before installing. Updated with the latest feedback and ratings from the Chrome Web Store.
Before the most recent update, the Search function would ignore URL parameters (such as the tracking parameters from social media, email newsletters, etc.) and take you straight to the most recent archived version of the page. Now, I have to remove them manually or else it won't find anything and will return "no results". Is there any way to return it to that former behavior?

The plugin has completely stopped working. I typically access it from the pinned icon in my toolbar, but that completely stopped working a week ago as well.
I've read the information John Navas (Developer) gave to others over the past couple days and those instructions are as clear as mud. I use the pin-to-toolbar option exclusively and it doesn't work. I have no idea how to "rant Access to the current page" once I've opened the browser extension. Like I said...clear as mud.
I used to be able to click the ArchivePH button on my toolbar and it would automatically open the page and start searching for the archived article. I changed the Options for Archive Page setting to "search only" as one person did in a recent review, and that just ads another step to trying to read the article. Hopefully, the developer will update the plug to function properly in light of Google's ridiculous "Chromium privacy & security enhancements", which are a joke. (That's a dig at Google, not the plugin developer.)

Yesterday it worked, today it does not.
FYI I have not changed anything in the settings, app, etc. This has happened before, but it seems to fix itself on it's own. Have no idea why
EDIT: John, thank you for that link. I have chrome, and switching to archive (only) selection fixed it.

Fantastic extension (thankyou) but it's no longer working in Chrome, for some reason.

Would be great if the "Search" option could return to the right-click menu.

Works like a charm! I use it's android app as well. A hidden gem that helps you read reliable content in the age of misinformation. The user interface is not very too user-friendly, but it gets the job done.

It no longer functions. The app's owner must update the link to https://archive.is/
I keep getting redirected to a page saying: "Welcome to nginx! If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required. For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org. Commercial support is available at nginx.com. Thank you for using nginx."
Edit: Provide an option for users to edit the link since it appears to change periodically, avoiding the need to wait for an app update each time.

Очень медленно. Не все картинки со страницы подгружает в архив (расшифровка с фото-превью avito, например).
В последнее время просто отвалился и выдает страницу nginx. Ощущение, что разработчики вообще не следят за ресурсом.

EDIT: After the response I got, I cleared my cookies and it works!
Used to work perfectly, but currently takes me to the following page:
Welcome to nginx!
If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required.
For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org.
Commercial support is available at nginx.com.
Thank you for using nginx.
I'm assuming this is because the extension queries archive.ph and that site is having its own issues— how can I make the extension use archive.today or archive.is?

Very useful for keeping a record of what fantasists post on [share discussion] bulletin boards - the posts get deleted and it is useful to be able to bring back the past. Well worth the price [FREE!!!]

Has been very useful when I'm investigating for my case, safekeeping evidence, however there has been several glitches lately, as in some images do not save, and there has been failures to keep the layout intacts; I do make dozens upon hundreds of Archives, so it's likely I'm increasing the odds, but it's worth noting.
Also, by Mid-October this year, there has been an Update or something that makes the tool unusable, Archive.today or Archive.ph is not working as of yet, but the alternative is Archive.is . I wish for us to move on from the change.

Why are you prompting wierd permisions settings at random times? This makes no sense from a UX pov. And feels like this extension is getting hacked. Also chrome just takes over the computer when it happens. Interupting anything your doing, a web call, presentation or work. stop this now!

John, can you explain why you need a Display notification permission for options? Most other extensions just load options from a the extension's context menu.

Does as the tin says. The extension's info page on the browser still reads the "Read your browsing history," but the dev probably forgot to edit it, since the 0.8.4 Update removed that access. All in all great, useful extension.

First of all, I love this extension. But 'Read your browsing history' is indisputable. You say "will be removed in 0.8.4", we are currently at 0.8.1. Why waiting? Why did you request this permission?

It was a great extension, but why does it now need permissions to "read your browsing history" and "display notifications"? I can't enable it when it requires these permissions.

Is there any workaround to change the default archive.today backend website to some other proxy(like archive.fo)?
Thank You.

Does exactly what it says on the label. Good responsive dev, who hit me with a cluestick about runtime config very kindly.
From time to time cloudflare has a fit over the archive.<thing> but that's not John's fault and he even points to the risk on the options/settings pane.
10/10 would use again. In fact, I just did.
