of course it is. why have anything good on there, no point reminding me of the old days when the internet was actually fucking useful
Since when did you use this feature? Please cite a source
I also literally used it yesterday, mostly because my work has an insanely over the top site blocking situation, and rather then having to input (and likely get a rejection) to allow the site, cached page usually works good and gets me the info I need.
That is exactly why I use it. I need to access pages for work, our internet security is ridiculously overdone and so many sites don't load... but the cached versions do. Fml
Photo / visual evidence would be fine, I am not picky. I would just like to be sure you are telling the truth, a lot of fraud on the internet nowadays 😒😒

I last used the feature to view deleted reddit posts.
Another time I used something similar (the wayback machine) to view long gone websites about a postcard
Like a couple of times a year at least. Faster and easier than going to the way back machine to get a copy
I've used it three times today. Site down, geo-blocked, and a forum post with info I needed deleted.
So ignorant, if you've had to do any digital research, you know these tools intimately
