I definitely miss the cached pages. I found that I was using the feature very frequently. Maybe it's just the relative obscurity of some of my hobbies and interests, but a lot of the information online that shows up in search engines seems to come from old forums. Often times those old forums are no longer around or have migrated to new software (obliterating the old URLs and old posts as well).
If you’re looking for a replacement, there are a lot of similar apps out there you can host yourself (And therefore can’t be killed) or pay a fee to have hosted for you.
https://linkwarden.app/ Is the one I use.

That's not the same at all. Archivebox would do the trick if it was pre-populated with every page Google Search has in its index.
Well it is, it just doesn’t go out and do all the caching for you ahead of time, instead it’s on demand. You are right that as far as pre populated alternatives go, it’s just archive.org now.
