We should fork an open source browser and anytime a page bait and switches (providing anything but the article) the browser automatically loads the archive page instead.

I’d switch to that browser instantly.

I don't like it either.

Manually marking would be error-prone.

I'd prefer a bot to spare readers the current labour of adding the archive.is copy (where available).

Most of the time there's an archive.is link in the comments

I fully support your opinion.
