- nathancahill 10y agoWow, had no idea. How did Google score that protocol?
- Someone1234 10y agoI assume it is built into Chrome and is just a redirect.
- awinder 10y agoBecause they also control the browser, only works in chrome
- weitzj 10y agoIt works for me in Safari macOS Sierra
- nathancahill 10y agoIt works in Firefox too, but I guess that's because I have Google set to my default search engine. Good trick.
- karlding 10y agoIt's a Google Search feature [0]. Add "cache:" in front of the URL you search on Google to try and view the cached version. Since most browsers nowadays implement an "omnibar" with Google as the default search provider, it appears seamless and performs the redirect.

- artursapek 10y agoWow, nice. Chrome only, I assume.
- weitzj 10y agoWorks for me in Safari macOS Sierra. But the default search provider for the address bar is Google.
- gcr 10y agoDoes that refer to the HTTP version or the HTTPS version?
- i336_ 10y agoTL;DR: Chrome is taking a leaf out of PHP's silently-and-confusingly-make-it-work book, and stripping the "//" in "cache://".
