Wayback Machine: An Official Edge Add-on by Internet Archive

The 'Wayback Machine' is an official Edge add-on by the renowned Internet Archive. It’s a powerful tool allowing users to step back in time to view how a website has evolved throughout the web's history. It presents unique options to save websites, view unavailable '404 Not Found' pages, and access archived books & research papers. Users can view the earliest version of a page or the most recently saved, gain insights from fact-checking organizations, and even bookmark pages for easy access. Private Mode, context notices, annotations, site mapping, and a host of other advanced features make the extension extremely useful for data preservation, research, and general browsing.

I wish we could whitelist sites that we do not wish to be automatically saved to the wayback machine. Otherwise this is a great extension.
