How To Use Google Chrome In Offline Mode

Use Google Chrome Offline/ Without Internet

Google Chrome is the most powerful and commonly used browser. It connects you to the internet, and it fetches the latest version of your desired web page. But it is totally useless when there is no internet connection. For instance, you are traveling or taking a flight; certainly, you will be unfortunate to access your data. And additionally, the message It is Not Connected to the Internet is the most annoying and tedious thing. Therefore, like Firefox and Internet Explorer, chrome has introduced a setting and an extension. They activate the offline mode of chrome, so it will easily fetch your last visited or any other web page if it is stored in your local or chrome cache.

Web browsers like Internet Explorer and Firefox offer an offline mode. When this mode is ON, every page you browse its copy is saved to the local cache. So, with the unavailability of the internet you can effortlessly access your desired web page. But Google Chrome, despite being the most-cherished browser, can't facilitate you like this. Likewise, a hidden setting, discussed by Addy Osmani, has been introduced to activate offline mode in chrome. And a chrome extension, Quick and Dirty Proxy Flipper, serves this purpose too.

To avoid the annoyance of no internet connection you should undertake the following method. In which, you will be told how to use Google Chrome in an offline mode.
While using Chrome, type chrome://flags/#enable-offline-mode in the address bar. A page will be displayed before you where you have to click Enable Offline Cache Mode. Click Relaunch at the end of the page and restart your browser. enable-offline-mode
Now, your offline mode has been activated. And you can effortlessly access the pages that are saved in the local or chrome cache. To check either this offline mode is working or not. Turn off your Wi-Fi. Restart the browser. If offline mode is enabled, cached version of the desired page will be displayed.
Google Chrome caches the HTML, content, images, and CSS stylesheets associated with your web page. So, the cached version of your web page looks similar to the original one. But if there are resources like javascript, videos, or images, that require internet, they will be replaced by the placeholder images.

Quick & Dirty Proxy Flipper, an extension, is available at Chrome Web Store, and it enables you to choose a proxy server to work in various modes. After its installation, an icon will be appeared on your screen.

To sum up, I can say that chrome does not have by default option to work offline. But with a little effort you will be enabled to get web pages in an offline mode. Therefore, use hidden settings or a chrome extension to let your browser work offline.
