This is so weird. The HN comments do not fail to point out that the OP is looking to create some kind of situation. It seems someone has a personal vendetta and it isn’t archive.ph.

Edit: After reading the Mastodon comments, this is kind of dumb.
In addition: Behind the complaints: Our investigation into the suspicious pressure on Archive.today
what do you even mean by “DDoS code on archive.ph”
Could you provide a source for your claim that archive.ph is DDOSing others? I couldn’t find any information on that
Archive.ph would then be susceptible to DDOS attacks.
How?
A browser is just another network program. An add-on can do it, a program that can bypass protections can be written. Such an add-on would be used as an example to achieve that.
Could someone explain what is happening here? Does Firefox have a builtin protection against DDOS specifically for Archive.ph? And why does it have it, why this specific site? Is there a protection for other sites too? I’m a bit confused here why Firefox itself would DDOS the site.
When you visit archive.ph, your computer is used to DDoS a critic of archive.ph.
Where’s the evidence of this?

Tampermonkey and a custom script?
Why are you going to a site that DDoSes other sites? Is that not a dealbreaker to you?
There’s no good alternative for the service.
