Unfortunately, archive.is has moved behind Cloudflare, subjecting readers to having their reading habits (both the articles and the referring communities) tracked at a large scale.
Sorry; I shouldn’t have written Cloudflare specifically. Their CAPTCHA page now contains scripts from Google, not Cloudflare. I have corrected my comment.
How do you know this?
Because a couple months ago, archive.is/archive.today started showing me CAPTCHA pages instead of the archived articles when I use Firefox with scripts disabled. The current page contains scripts hosted by Google, which I won’t enable, so I can’t read the archived articles.
I haven’t used that site enough to have a consistent picture of what it’s doing. When I tried it a few minutes ago, it directed me to a CAPTCHA wall when trying to submit an article, but not when searching for an archived article. I’ll try to remember to look at it again periodically, to be able to answer this question in the future.

What about https://ghostarchive.org/?

Thanks. I appreciate the info and effort.
