Everyone knows the error message "404: Page not found". If this message appears on the screen, good advice is expensive - unless you use the Brave Browser with its built-in time machine. So nothing is ever truly gone on the internet.
Internet pages and their content are changed, moved or deleted more or less frequently. If you then look for something at a known address that no longer exists, you are left out in the cold.
Therefore, the open-source Brave Browser in the desktop version now offers for "404" - and related errors to open an archived version of the page you are looking for. You just have to press the red button "Check for archived version".
The Internet Is Archived
To this end, the Brave Browser cooperates with the Internet Archive, which has been continuously archiving websites from all over the world since the 1990s and calls the project Wayback Machine.
But even those who do not use the Brave Browser can check directly at "Waybackmachine.org" whether and when the Internet Archive last saved the page they were looking for and then open it.
The non-profit Internet Archive not only stores the internet but pretty much everything you can imagine in digital cultural assets: music, films, software, scanned books, games, even malware from the 80s and 90s - with the aim of preserving everything and make it freely accessible.
