The responses to the post on X indicate that several folks are none too happy to see the feature killed off by Google. Trying to find a bright spot amidst the sour news, Sullivan expressed his personal hope that Google might be able to add old webpage links to the Internet Archive, a site that offers a large collection of books, movies, music, and other content.
The Archive is also known for its Wayback Machine, home to more than 800 webpages saved over time where you can see a snapshot of a page from a specific date.

Having Google’s cached pages accessible through the Archive would be a nice fit as it would let people see how a page has changed over time, Sullivan said. But he made no promises, explaining that Google would have to speak with the people behind the Archive to see how such a process might work.
“No promises,” he said. “We have to talk to them, see how it all might go — involves people well beyond me. But I think it would be nice all around.”
