Two weeks ago, an Onion Site for the Internet Archive was announced:

Some tech people at the Internet Archive were informed well ahead of
this announcement, and they are happy with it. I expect this Onion
Site to remain stable for quite a while. I have not hacked a Firefox
extension before, and I would be glad if somebody else came forward to
modify cfc accordingly.

Cheers,
Christian
