		ibatindev on Jan 31, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Google search drops cache link from search results Google's Cache is a wonderful way to circumvent many paywalls. I have a bookmark that I use as a button to redirect the current URL to it's cached version. You can try it out, just add a new bookmark and paste this: "javascript:var url = new URL(location.href); location.href = 'https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:%27 + url;"
