I have been playing around with the Chrome cache to see if I could recover some old page views but the text/html links all yield garble instead of readable text. Is this because of HTTPS? Is there any way to restore the original page?

I put up a post about this earlier but I deleted it again because I misread your original post - I thought you were looking to recover images from your Chrome cache.
But perhaps it might help anyway? I don't know. Anyway, I will leave it here again.
It's about a small program called Chrome Cache View. You don't have to install it - it's just a single .exe that runs.
It seems to work for me, you can see a list of everything in your cache (including image files, .css, html etc) and you can open the files in your browser, or the image files in your default image viewer.
It's a good idea to change 'Options' > 'Double Click Action' to 'Open Selected Cache File' which will open the listed file in it's default program.
It can be downloaded from -

It seems to work for me fine in Windows 10, 64 bit. It located the cache on first run without me having to point the program to it.

I have been working with Cache View. When I try to view text on a page, I get the following:

^^ I'm afraid that I am no web wizard, and the above is as far as my knowledge goes 
Perhaps another reader more knowledgeable might know more?
