Ironically just yesterday I needed Google Cache because a page I needed to read was down and I couldn't find the option anymore.
Are we going to need to go back to personal web crawlers to back-up information we need? I hate today's internet.

It's a browser extension that links to a dozen online caching services.
Hmm, tried it on Firefox Android but not sure it is working.
It's called "Web Archives", you can install it from the Firefox official extensions.
To use it you open the menu while on a page, go to Addons > Web Archives and select a search engine.
Thanks, sounds very handy
Ran across the same problem recently. Ended up using Bing, of all things lol
