Link resurrection

 ai searches for the dead link in archives and by context

When I encounter a dead link i ask this browser addon to try to find it. It looks up the address and the link text on web archive and checks that the links work, and that their content seems relevant and gets back to you with some plausible finds.

       [-] Not because it's a bad idea, but because it's an old idea that many people have had. It's been discussed on HB and elsewhere. There are companies and browser plugs-ins that try to do this, with varying degrees of usefulness.

       thanks a1. but do any of them go beyond archive org, and try to find it or its equivalents using a1 and the context?

       // ... using a1 ... ? //   

       Isn't enough that you're already using me to do research you should be doing on your own?   

       But if you mean "using Artificial Intelligence," well, you're still being lazy. You're not describing *how* an AI would judge context, you're just assuming it can...by magic, perhaps? Not that there isn't research in that direction, but what part of that is YOUR invention?
