## Description

Webpages going <em>kaput</em> during your web browsing or following up on <em>missing</em> and <em>dead</em> webpage links shared from your friends, family, co-workers and trusted networks and organizations can be <em>incredibly frustrating</em>. 

Some may even describe it as a golden example of <em>hair pulling experiences</em> and if not addressed, this surge of dead ends, roadblocks and obstacles may be capable of elevating your blood pressure, heart beats, anxiety, headaches and cause panic attacks and mood swings in extreme cases.

Many a time this missing webpage may be completely unintentional - as in a sudden spike in visitors to a particular website or webpage may cause overloading and bottlenecks slowing down the computer hosting this website or webpage, or rejecting visitors after the maximum thresholds for number of concurrent visitors making requests to the website or webpage in a given time get exceeded.

This is why we created this extension - <em>to firstly address our own needs</em> - and consider it one of the must use Handmade Internet Treasures you should collect to make your everyday web browsing effortless.
