There is nothing more annoying than the moment you try to access a website and it is simply unreachable, whether due to server problems, hacking, or the site being taken down. For cases like this, you have extensions such as View Page Archive & Cache, a free tool that lets you view pages in search engine caches and on Archive.org.
If we know anything about the Internet, it is that nothing lasts forever, and websites are a recurring example. Many times we face the unpleasant surprise that our favorite site is inaccessible, either because the server hosting it is down, or because the pages have been deleted or hacked. And that is when the user's desperation begins in the face of a problem that seems to have no solution. If you are going through a moment like this, don't worry, because you now have View Page Archive & Cache, an extension that lets you view pages in search engine caches and on Archive.org.
Once you install the extension, the View Page Archive & Cache icon is added to the toolbar along with an entry in the right-click context menu. Clicking the icon shows options to open the current web page in sites and services that offer cached or archived copies. Below, we leave you the complete list of all the search engines it supports:
