Google Search is losing its 'cached' web page feature
engadget.com
One of Google Search's oldest and best-known features, cache links, are being retired. Best known by the "Cached" button, those are a snapshot of a web page the last time Google indexed it. However, according to Google, they're no longer required.
"It was meant for helping people access pages when way back, you often couldn’t depend on a page loading,” Google's Danny Sullivan wrote. “These days, things have greatly improved. So, it was decided to retire it."

Google is the king of giving bullshit reasons to hide their true intent.
My guess is ads don't work in cached pages.
This is the real reason. Google is an ad company, not a search engine.
Just like that safetynet thing. They will write long pages about it, but won't admit they want to make custom android roms unusable for the average user.
