Mink: Integrating the live and archived web viewing experience using web browsers and memento

We describe Mink, a new web browser extension that provides a different model for integration of the live and archived web. While a user browses the live web, Mink actively queries the archives and reports other instances of the page in the archives without requiring active querying by the user. Further, by querying the archives dynamically and asynchronously, a user can view the extent to which the currently viewed page on the live web has been archived and proactively submit a request to various archives using an overlay on the live web page and a simple interface.
