Open archive.ph version for paywalled sites

Sites like nytimes & business insider can be crippled on mobile due to aggressive paywalling. Allow sites to be opened via mirrors such as archive.ph (archive.today) to their newest or oldest save https://archive.ph/newest/xxxxxxxx https://archive.ph/oldest/xxxxxxxx Eg https://reddit.com/r/technews/comments/17nnrb6/amazons_1_billion_cloud_deal_with_microsoft/ Links to: https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-m365-cloud-deal-with-microsoft-new-details-2023-11?r=US&IR=T Which is locked down when browsing on iOS (scroll and you will see a full screen login/subscription nag) Removing the query parameters and adding to the archive.ph url https://archive.ph/newest/https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-m365-cloud-deal-with-microsoft-new-details-2023-11 We can find a working readable story. Another example for a nytimes link: https://archive.ph/newest/https://www.nytimes.com/article/best-netflix-movies.html Perhaps add this as a sub-option to ‘Open in browser’ so a user can easily find an alternative if the Reddit link has a paywall on the target site.
