Ahhh The power of google should not be underestimated, there are various tricks you can perform using google, Including finding passwords for paid websites and super searches. But we are not discussing any of the previously said in this post. I will explain you the power of Google cache browsing!
What is google cache?
We all know google, the search engine that helps you search information on the internet. To find this information google has created a software bot called ‘GoogleBot’. This bot travels down the internet following links and discovering new pages. When Google found a new page it indexes the content and uploads it too their own server. So they always have a sort of ‘copy’ of the page. When googlebot visits a site that it previously visited it checks if any of the content has been updated. If not it skips the page and goes on. The indexed and collected pages on google’s servers is called “google cache” You can visit sites in this cache by clicking In cache near to the search results. This will load the page as googlebot found it the last time it passed there.
Whats so great about that?
Well the great thing is you can use google cache browsing to bypass IP and LINK blocks. supose you are at work and the ICT manager has blocked a certain photo site, you could enter the name of the photosite in the search box, hit search and load the cached page. Since google is not blocked you can view the page that googlebot indexed! This way you can view information that should be blocked! :]
I uploaded a little video to show you how this is done, you can view it here:
