Protip: If you really need to see the Reddit page on a private'd sub remember Google has a cached page feature.

Paste the actual reddit link here and it should fetch from google cache - https://cachedview.com

wow, this is extremely helpful

Or you could just add "cache:" right before a link.

Where did Google move the cached page feature? I can’t find it in the three dot menu for search results anymore.

Not all pages are cached. If a cached copy exists, it'll be in the 3-dots menu.

If you click on the three-dot menu, there's a small caret button you have to click to show more of the pill buttons at the top, and one of them is "Cached". It feels like every time I need to use that button it's moved somewhere new.

Thanks. This caret doesn't exist on mobile (at least for me). Hopefully it doesn't get removed elsewhere!

There's an expansion to the three dots that has a cache option. Still don't know how to do it with the secondary results for a domain.

I saw that screenshot here: https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/150912/did-googl...

However, this option is hidden for me on every result I’ve checked. Pages posted several years ago, pages posted within the past couple months, Reddit pages, StackOverflow pages, etc. Even pages from Google itself are missing a cached page option for me.

I got some good results from web.archive.org. Some subs like r/MechanicalKeyboards seem to be archived almost entirely.
