Description
Dear developers,
Can you please make it possible to automatically view the oldest copy of a page (specifically Wayback Machine and Archive.is)?
Adding this feature would enable the user to go from a paywalled newspaper article to its full version in one step.
I appreciate you considering my suggestion.
Thank you for your time.
