Why it's listed

ArchiveBox is listed in bookmarks & web archiving because it competes on utility: your personal wayback machine. It's built by an independent, bootstrapped team — no growth-at-all-costs pressure, no ad-tax passed to you. Licensed MIT; pricing: free. Its resource footprint is reasonable for what it does, though not featherweight. This entry is provisional — the scores are seeded estimates pending our full manual rubric pass, and the verification date will appear here once complete.
