They have a browser extension that archives any page you visit automatically. It’s the laziest way to help contribute and I love it.

Link for anyone curious
There’s also this purpose-built one if anyone is only interested in the save functionality

does this actually help the internet archive in any way? as in are your local ressources used or ad revenue generated? i fail to see how telling them to archive everything you visit is of any help to them. other than you being basically a crawler, i guess

I think your missing the point. As you browse throughout your lifetime you will eventually come across a site that went down that you used to frequent. If you are contributing in this manner the content you viewed is guaranteed to be archived and you will know where to start looking since you already had this set up. It just also adds the extra benefit for everyone else who wants to look.
