Web Archives
View archived and cached versions of web pages on various search engines, such as the Wayback Machine and Archive.is.
Web Archives is a browser extension that enables you to find archived and cached versions of web pages. Searches can be initiated from the context menu and the browser toolbar.
Web Archives is an open source project made possible thanks to a community of awesome supporters. If you'd like to support the continued development of the extension, please check out https://armin.dev/go/patreon
A diverse set of archive and cache sources are supported, which can be toggled and reordered from the extension's options. Visit the wiki for the full list of supported search engines.

PRO TIP: search for a link without visiting the web page by right-clicking on the link and searching from the context menu.
A handful of search modes are offered that serve different use cases. The search mode can be set independently for the context menu and the browser toolbar from the extension's options.
Search modes:
• Tab: search for the web page opened in the active tab. This is the default search mode.
• URL: search for a custom page URL.
The extension is also available for Edge and Safari: https://github.com/dessant/web-archives#readme
The URL you select during a search is sent to the requested service, such as the Wayback Machine. Visit the extension's privacy policy for more information.

Excellent! It works as expected. Recommended.
Not very useful if you want a recently cached version (of the last few days or weeks) of a page. Since Google and Bing stopped providing this, this extension doesn't offer for most pages a valid alternative.
love it :D
I'm happy with the overall simplicity and functionality of this extension, which I use a lot, so I have some feedback: When the user clicks the Web Archives extension, the current page's URL should autofill, or at least have that option. If users want to input a different URL into the extension, they'd simply replace the auto-pasted one. Lastly, a (Dev) question: Based on the last Git update from Nov-2023, you hit v5.0.0. Does that mean extension development reached a finishing milestone or will you continue to develop? New websites, that'd benefit this extension, are still popping, so I hope of their future Web Archives incorporation.
Thanks for this great extension. Is it possible to add search.brave.com search engine to the list?

Пожалуйста, добавьте русский язык!
The slow death of Reddit via blackouts has made this indispensable. My eternal thanks to the devs! Every time you come across a blacked-out Reddit page, just click on this extension and choose your bypass (I usually use 'Google')

Useful, it helps quickly retrieve archived content from multiple web arhives at once by clicking the extension and choosing "All search engines".

Всё работает отлично. Кэш яндекса в том числе работает. Надо просто подождать, пока расширение выполнит работу полностью. Оно имитирует ручную работу, кликает где надо самостоятельно.
Thanks to your great extension I found an already removed vacancy. Thank you very mutch! :)

Does exactly what it was advertised to do - get the cache page of dead links. Not else to say... except: thank you.

I tried a few of the options before manually but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for but luckily I came across this extension cuz I completely forgot to check bing cache. The date it was cached was perfect. The reason I was trying this is because a small part of our website broke down and we didn't have any screenshots of how it looked like and the server host which was supposed to do snapshots daily said he can't reverse the changes after the crash. Why doing snapshots if you aren't gonna use them when needed?! We are obviusly gonna change the server host but still. At least now we know how it looked like.

Не показывает кэш Яндекса. Вместо этого, показывает станицы в индексе.
Simple and quick way to see if your current webpage has been archived by one of a number of web archive sites. Like Archive.org, Google, Bing, Yandex and more. It does not search/use chrome's local cached copies on your disk.
