@dheadshot @brewsterkahle yes, that classic frontend WM is great. After taking a quick look, they seem to have switched to web components that render in the shadow DOM. I was hoping this was some kind of bot-protection move, but it seems to be another case of enshittification (I hate that word!).
I hope I'm wrong and they still care about non-JS browsers. They still provide a search API, so building an alternative frontend seems feasible: https://archive.org/help/aboutsearch.htm
