WebCache Extension

This is a chrome browser extension that allows the user to view a cached version of the current webpage. Set your primary cache as Google Cache, Wayback Machine, Archive.is, or Coral CDN. If what you're looking for isn't found, it'll cycle through the other caches until it finds what you're looking for. There are three ways to use WebCache:

1. Click the extension button to view the cached version of the web page

2. Access the cached webpage through the right click menu (enable this setting in the options page)

3. Auto-detect when a webpage is down, and fetch the cached version (enable this setting in the options page)

Sam Gibson (ID: 0000001348986751) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/28/2020 Google cache link doesn't work it just 404s. Wayback machine seems to work but have to use a different plugin to easily access google Cache from a right click.

Chek Wei Tan (ID: 00000064a6077c6d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/15/2019 Very convenient! Save me some time to type "cache:" manually in front of url.

cars x (ID: 0000005eedad180c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/09/2019 Exactly what I needed. Makes viewing cached versions of websites way faster...Normally, I would have to go to the cache website to paste in the link but with this extension you just click and BOOM. It works perfectly.
