Free Google Cache Checker Firefox Extension

I have found that when checking out directories I'm potentially interested in submitting to, sites for marketing, etc., an element I always want to know is if the page is cached by Google. So, I copy the URL, open a new Firefox tab, type google.com, and enter the cache search for that URL. Then I have to close the browser tab, and head back to where I was before.

This is the reason for the free Google Cache Checker Firefox extension. The extension automatically checks visited pages to determine if the current page is Google cached. The result is immediately shown conveniently in the browser statusbar. There are a couple other extensions that provide access to the Google cache, but none of them do it without loading a new Firefox tab to view the result, which is what makes this extension so handy, I think, since you can see the result so quickly and easily.

This extension is available exclusively from Gadget Advisor.

Quick note. The extension has now been updated to include cache date on the tooltip. Built-in proxy support has also been implemented to protect against loading many pages at one time. The new version can be downloaded from the same URL.
