See https://github.com/jonathanmccann/archive-url-firefox-addon/issues/19

archive.today aka archive.ph aka archive.is and so on. Archiving usually means including and holding info unconditonally, some don't like it and sue (or actions alike) the site(s). If archive.today went down, you could replace the 'today' with 'is' (for archive.is). The field is a bit confusing, I agree.
