I don't get it. When I click on the topmost archived ad ( https://clippings-archive.june07.com/craigslist/7675980380 ) I get a 404. Others work, but what is the value of a deleted ad?

The swipe ads for digitalocean on this are tremendously obnoxious as they break back and forward swiping on Safari on iPhone. That’s not okay, don’t do this. But hey, it’s a way to guarantee that you’ll annoy people enough to not use it.

Removed the ads until I can fix the problem you are experiencing. Click on App update available or reload the page again, if you'd be so kind.

You can use https://archive.ph to archive webpages instantly and (seemingly) forever.

Btw, I've been aching for a browser extension that saves a copy of every web site I visit so I can reach for the archived copy in my history window. Does anything like that exist?
