Is my aim possible? Sending URLs to Wayback in background

Hi all,

I’m completely new to add-on developing (I have more of a background in bash scripting) and before I dedicate the time to it, I’d like to check that my end aim is possible since Quantum.

What I want to develop is an extension that copies the URL of the page you are visiting, and then sends it to archive.org’s Wayback Machine to be saved in the background.

Currently there are multiple add-ons and javascript bookmarklets that save URLs to Wayback, but as far as I know they all redirect you to the newly saved page on Wayback so you can see if it’s worked. I’d like my extension to skip this redirect, and instead reflex it’s success in it’s icon.

Thanks :slight_smile:

It should be possible to make something like that, yes.

Awesome! Thank you. I’ll start learning.
