Add option to automatically redirect to snapshot after archiving #133

Description

As a user, I would like to be able to "jump" to a snapshoted URL immediately after the snapshot finishes. I believe this has multiple benefits:

  • Stops various trackers on a given page from recording time on page
  • Minimize CPU / mem use from JS heavy pages

Ideally this would be an option that could be enabled / disabled.

Sounds like turning the tool in a sort of reader mode, interesting.. If this seems a broader desire (add a thumbs up if you want this) it may be worth adding, though to me personally I have found the two required clicks (open snapshot, close other tab) an acceptable effort so far when this behaviour is desired.

I suppose other UX design choices may also influence the behaviour still; perhaps clicking a listed snapshot date should open it in the same tab, thus reducing the effort to one click.

It is actually three clicks (1 take snapshot, 2 to visit snapshot, 3 to close previous tab). I'm proposing 1 click. Those additional 2 clicks add up over months, years. Yes,

perhaps clicking a listed snapshot date should open it in the same tab

Would be an improvement :)
