ao3 saver is a free Chrome add-on that ensures you never lose the fanfiction you're reading on Archive of Our Own (AO3) again. This handy tool automatically backs up AO3 works as you start reading them, providing a safety net in case the original story is ever taken down.

With ao3 saver, if you come across a 404 page due to a deleted or missing work, you'll find a button that takes you directly to the backup PDF stored on the ao3 saver server. This ensures you can continue reading without any interruptions.

In addition to its backup feature, ao3 saver also offers an AO3 menu that keeps a history of each work you've visited. This makes it easy to search and find deleted works that you've previously viewed. The extension does not store any data on what you view, keeping your privacy intact. The only thing stored on the server are the PDF files for the works, completely unattached from your personal information.

With plans to maintain the servers and support the extension for years to come, ao3 saver is a reliable solution for AO3 readers who want to safeguard their favorite fanfiction. For any issues or suggestions, you can contact the developer at
