Another useful feature for power users that Google is killing.

    There’s a handy extension on both Firefox and Chromium browsers called Web Archives made by dessant / Armin Sebastian. You can right click on any URL and try to find cached copy on multiple services like Archive.org, Google cache and many more.

    There is another cool extension from same dev called Search by Image that can search any image across multiple reverse image search engines.

      “Web Extensions” is a terrible name for a browser extension and explains nothing, so I’m glad it’s actually called “Web Archives”

        It changed the name right after I posted. I swear I definitely did not make a silly typo.
