Tool Time Friday | Cache Machine

By Morgan

Reduce your online footprint when searching the web. Read webpages without visiting the site itself: load any URL from the caches of Google, Yahoo! Or Bing. Image loading is automatically disabled.

 

 

There may be times when you want to see what is on a webpage without actually visiting that site itself.

This extension allows you to right-click on any webpage link and choose to load it from either the Google, Yahoo! or Bing cache. In the case of Google, the pages are pulled from the text-only cache but for Bing and Yahoo! (who don’t have a text-only cache) image downloading is temporarily disabled in Firefox. This ensures that, as far a possible, you do not make any requests for data from the actual site that originally hosted the webpage.

Other right-click menu items are available to allow you to type a URL in directly and have that loaded from the search engines cache in the same way.

Things to remember:
