Google cache link doesn't work it just 404s. Wayback machine seems to work but have to use a different plugin to easily access google Cache from a right click.

Exactly what I needed. Makes viewing cached versions of websites way faster...Normally, I would have to go to the cache website to paste in the link but with this extension you just click and BOOM. It works perfectly.
