People have commented about this tons of times and nobody ever listens. Mods should update the text on the "CREATE A POST" page asking submitters to post archives whenever possible.
If any of you use Firefox, I suggest the Multi-Account Containers extension. You can define your own containers and add domains to it, which isolates your cookies. For example, create a "Fake News" container and add msnbc.com, nyt.com, msn.com, etc. Then those sites can't access any of your data outside of the container. It's not a perfect solution, but it helps.
There are also browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox that add one-click archiving to your toolbar, for both archive.is and archive.org.
Yes!! I've just recently become an archiving machine, as some of you may have noticed. Do you think the archive url should be linked in the title or the live link? Or does it really matter..? I, for one, have occasionally opened the article without even opening the post. So if a lot of us view them that way, it might be best to use the archive url in the title..?
This deserves its own post and a reoccurring sticky.

having this kind of information permanent on the site for all to see would be excellent. have a section for each browser; Firefox, Edge, Chrome ....

I agree. I've never done this. I'm sure its easy, but if there is a step-by-step guide, please post it.
