# 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
* Searches through seven page cache/mirrors:
* [Google Cache](http://www.google.com/) (plus text-only version)
* [The Internet Archive](http://web.archive.org/)
* [MSN Cache](http://search.msn.com/)
* [Gigablast Cache](http://www.gigablast.com/) (temporary(?) disabled since code not working anymore)
2012-12-13 04:23:38 +01:00
* [WebCite](http://www.webcitation.org/)
* [archive.is](https://archive.is/)

* [Down for everyone?](http://www.isup.me/)
2012-12-13 04:23:38 +01:00
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`
* Directly in the net error ("Firefox could not load this page...") page.
# PLANNED
