Comment on Google Search is losing its 'cached' web page feature

  Were so many people using it to avoid ads?

  I doubt that as well. There are much better ways to deal with that. I always only used it when the content on the page didn’t exist anymore or couldn’t be accessed for whatever reason.

  But I suspected this was coming, they’ve been hiding this feature deeper and deeper in the last few years.

    I honestly thought it was already gone.

  but you can’t click through links or interact with the page in any way

  Most of the time that’s exactly what I want. I hate hunting through 473 pages of stupid bullshit in some janky forum to try to find the needle in that haystack.

  I feel like 99% of its usage was to avoid ads/paywalls on news sites
