You can use https://archive.ph to archive webpages instantly and (seemingly) forever.

Btw, I've been aching for a browser extension that saves a copy of every web site I visit so I can reach for the archived copy in my history window. Does anything like that exist?

Actually, discovered that site after building this! lol It did seem to be a good resource. However, there are certainly differences between Clippings and it. One big one being that Clippings is more narrowly focused on classifieds and not the web in general.

Not sure about the browser extension...

From a data persistence perspective, it’s good just that there are more archives so I wouldn’t worry too much about differentiation. Hopefully this tool is used alongside others.

It's a bit more convoluted than just installing a browser extension but you could set something up with -for example- Archivebox: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Scheduled-Arch...
