The cached versions would smooth out some rough edges, but now it’s hard to get to them.
You can left and right-click simulated mice with a screenreader but mouse-over is very tricky. Why should I have to hover in order to discover?

Yes, I just reconfirmed it now. The cached pages are still there when you trigger the instant preview.

There are ways to remove outdated content from Google’s cache. The process to do so depends on whether you’re the site owner or not.

If you are the site owner, here’s how you would remove a cached version of a page. If you are not the site owner, you would follow this process to request the removal.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your comment and insight about the Instant Preview. I’ve run some other tests that would support your own personal behavior. In general I believe most users are scanning the page and looking primarily at the title as an indicator of relevance. The Instant Preview feels like an advanced feature for a sub-set of users.

Good point about why they might have moved it. If they figured that a large amount of people weren’t using them, might as well keep them out of view so the page doesn’t look cluttered as well as any extra bandwidth that it was using.

I will say, I very rarely use the Instant preview. My feeling is, if I cant find what I am looking for from the title and description, im not clicking. As far as the preview goes, I usually just assume its not going to be very good
