@@ -6,6 +6,8 @@ ArchiveBox has three recommended usage modes.
This is the default (lax) mode, intended for archiving public (non-secret) URLs without authenticating the headless browser. This is the mode used if you're archiving news articles, audio, video, etc. browser bookmarks to a folder published on your webserver. This allows you to access and link to content on `http://your.archive.com/archive...` after the originals go down.
This mode should not be used for archiving entire browser history or authenticated private content like Google Docs, paywalled content, invite-only subreddits, etc.
#### Private Mode
If you're importing private links or authenticated content, you definitely don't want to share your archive folder publicly on a webserver. You can set [`CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR`](https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox/wiki/Configuration#chrome_user_data_dir) and [`COOKIES_FILE`](https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox/wiki/Configuration#COOKIES_FILE) to enable authenticated Chrome and wget archiving respectively.
