Web Cache Viewer
Description from store

Web Cache Viewer lets you right-click on any link or page to view the Wayback Machine or Google Cache versions of that page.

When browsing the internet, everyone eventually runs into those pesky 404 error messages that are pretty annoying.

Web Cache Viewer makes dealing with 404's bearable, giving users the option to right click and view the Google Cache or Wayback machine versions of the page.

One special feature of Web Cache Viewer is our built-in Wayback Machine smart feature.

Our smart feature will intelligently redirect you to an archived page of the one you're on, instead of the typical archive selection screen you encounter when using archive.org directly.

If Wayback Machine isn't your thing, you can also resort to the Wayback Machine alternative of using Google Cache instead.

I hope you find this extension helpful. If you do, please leave a review.

Excellent!! Love the Archive.today integration since I can request updated caches at any moment for any page. Thank you so much! :)

no google cache

Doesn't seem to work. Every link says WayBack Machine did not archive that page. And none of the websites have a Google cached page. This extension is just a waste of time. Maybe you will have better luck.

Works perfectly fine. Thank you

4 star for working. Less a star due to no other option besides Wayback Machine and Google Cache. Google Cache has been officially down btw. p.s: just right click on any link or webpage to see the option. author should have included the instruction in description smh

Works nicely, and easy to use. Right click, and there'll be choice to check archive.org or google cache. Don't need to click on extensions on the main bar or anything, right click on google search link is enough, I don't get why some of the reviews saying it's complicated or difficult to use, bla bla blah. It's extremely simple actually. Also, I started using this because google for some reason stopped showing me "view cache" on my pc. Needed it so much (for work), so here I am. Tested 2023-Dec-19; Windows 11 via Chrome 120.0.6099.110 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I was hoping for a tool allowing to get URLs to cached pages (plural) for a site - but this is just another garbage wannabe tool to download 1 single page, using a feature Google already has to view a single cached page. Using the extension actually takes longer than just using Google's native engine - that's if it works at all. The developer would have helped users more by doing nothing: the plethora of useless extensions pretending to have value just makes the ones that actually have value that much harder to find. Do everyone a solid and remove this extension.

Works! Just rightclick the link and it will show the Cached version for many webpages that aren't reachable for some reason.

This is incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to build this extension. I so wish I had learned of it years prior.

didn´t work for me, wanted to access a webpage that shows in google search engine with pictures and data, but the app did not open the web as it has been removed. So it did not show the cache as it should.
