You don't need an extension for that and allow questionable privacy settings like "access to all websites". Just use a bookmarklet (create a new bookmark e.g. in your top bar and add this code as URL): javascript:location.href='https://archive.is/?run=1&url=%27+encodeURIComponent(document.location) Other bookmarklet examples (12ft, Google Cache): javascript:location.href='https://12ft.io/proxy?q=%27+encodeURIComponen…

  javascript:location.href = '//archive.ph/newest/' + location.href.split('?')[0];

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don’t see any changes on the repo. The permissions in your case should just be activeTab and storage. That’s it. You can run the extension via chrome.browserAction.onClick and it will receive the URL. You also don’t need the tabs permission just to create a tab.

The issue is that if you do not set permissions in the manifest, clicking allow in the safari UI would only return a blank URI, "". The original extension in this case would also just return an error. I've modified the manifest so that it is asking Safari for wider permissions, so that when the permission is granted by the user, the proper URL is returned.

    chrome.scripting.executeScript({
      func: () => window.open(' archive.ph' + location.href)
    })

It only redirects to the Archive homepage.

You need to go into the Extension preference page for the extension, and hit the "Allow Access" permission box for allowing access to web url/link information. I can't remember exact wording, but should essentially be one option here and you have to enable it so that it has permission to pass along URL.

Shortcuts are good for this type of functionality as well, and as a bonus, can be used from within apps like Twitter via the share sheet.
