Documentation

Dead pages, broken links, the scourge of the internet. Powerhouse sites like Slashdot and Digg can bring a server to its knees. What do we do when a page is dead but we still want to see it? Call in the clerics, and perform a resurrection ceremony! Or (the easier route) use this extension.

Features

Of course, not every page can be in every cache. When a page is unavailable, you'll generally see that site's error page. Hit back and try another one!

  • Accessible:
    • In the context (right-click) menu for the current page, and for all links.
    • In the toolbar, just customize it to drag the button in.
    • With the keyboard: press Ctrl-Shift-U
