Don't you hate it when a website is down and you need the information on it? You're clever, so you do a Google search of the URL of the page you want and then select the cached result. However, if you want to follow any of the links on the cached page you have to copy the URL, go back to Google, search on the URL, click on the little arrow, and select "Cached" to finally get where you want to go. Then you have to repeat that process if you want to continue browsing that site through the Google Cache.
When you enable the Google Cache Browser all links will be transformed into Google Cache links. When you visit a page in the Google Cache all of the links on that page will also become Google Cache links. You can seamlessly browse websites through the Google Cache just by pressing a button.
When you're done browsing through the Google Cache on that tab simply press the Google Cache Browser button again to turn it off. Simple!
Additionally, in this version, when you encounter a 404 or 503 page Google Cache Browser displays an option bar that lets you choose to browse that page, domain, host, or full path in the Google Cache. It's unobtrusive, it'll only be there when you need it.
New in 2.8! When a page isn't found in the Google Cache, it will automatically try to find the page in the Internet Archive: Wayback Machine. From there you can navigate between Google Cache pages and Wayback Machine pages seamlessly.
Upcoming features:
- Specify what order to try the different cached page repositories.
- Possible option to browse Bing and Yahoo caches (this is much more difficult and slower)

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
