    How safe is it to have automatic page saving enabled when using websites that require an account? Can it potentially dox oneself?

      it doesn’t literally scrape the web page off your browser, it just sends a download request to the internet archive to download the webpage associated with the URL that you’re visiting

        I wasn’t sure if it was using the client to capture the snapshot or not, better safe than sorry! Thanks for explaining.
