+
+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:
+   * [CoralCDN](http://www.coralcdn.org/)
+   * [Google Cache](http://www.google.com/) (plus text-only version)
+   * [Yahoo! Cache](http://search.yahoo.com/)
+   * [The Internet Archive](http://web.archive.org/)
+   * [MSN Cache](http://search.msn.com/)
+   * [Gigablast Cache](http://www.gigablast.com/)
+   * [WebCite](http://www.webcitation.org/)
+
+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.
