This userscript saves every visited page to the Internet Archive Wayback Machine (archive.org), if the page has not already been saved there within the last 30 days. This prevents duplicate saves (We don't want to spam the Internet Archive). Some sites are excluded by default (No need to archive google searches, for example). You can add more @exclude flags on your own.

The archiving status is displayed in the bottom right-hand corner. A = Archived, FIRST = First archival, U = Archiving unneccessary, E = Archiving error. This can be turned off in the settings variables.
Please note that the archiving process from Internet Archive's "Save Page Now" feature is unreliable. Sometimes it just fails or takes a long time. Also there are limits on how many pages you can save (AFAIK 100 per day per IP) and sometimes the IA does maintenance work. And another information: The "First archival" badge is sometimes unreliable too (In reality it isn't the first archival)
