Brave is an awesome browser. Today, it extended its awesomeness to a next level by adding the Wayback machine platform to its browser. Wayback Machine is a digital archive of web pages around the internet. It saves snapshots of webpages at certain times and stores it to be viewed by anyone later.

Aside from this, it’s now adding another feature which most of won’t know – the Wayback machine powered by Internet Archive.

Archive.org is a platform maintained by a non-profit organization, where it snaps and stores the webpages at periodic times. This lets any user refer to those anytime by visiting the website. This page is now added as a feature for Brave browser (web version only) and will be seen whenever a page visited is disabled due to an error.

Further, Brave, about this feature’s integration said, will utilize the Wayback Machine integration for 14 other HTTP error codes which will be displayed when a web server undergoes maintenance or having an issue. These other error codes are This , 410, 451, 500, 502, 503, 504, 509, 520, 521, 523, 524, 525, and 526.
