Extremely incredibly annoying that google removed the cached page feature. Crazy decision. Sigh.

With modern websites usually heavily relying on js to run properly and therefore seemingly thwarting archive.com, and search engines refusing to provide access to cached pages, it's very frustrating to be able to look something up that you had access to in the past.

@ljs And what's really sad is that when Google announced this, I wasn't even surprised.

@ljs Another great feature killed by lack of profits. Someone should make a company that just revives old Google projects as a business strategy.

@ljs yeah that sucks, and who knows how long will archive.org last. I wonder if there is something like a browser plugin that saves *everything* you browse for later search and optional sharing ...

@algebraicterror yeah it's certainly not the browser, as that's totally broken these days.
