Offline browsing
From Free net encyclopedia
Many modern web browsers have a mode called offline browsing, where links to web pages are redirected to local copies in a temporary folder. The local copies are generally created automatically in the browser's cache and deleted automatically. Many web browsers allow the user to explicitly set specific pages to be browsed offline, which guarantees that they will not be deleted from the user's cache.
At a disconnection of the server which offers the required pages, perhaps copies of the pages can be called about a proxy, e.g. at the Internet provider. An offline browser which works as a proxy locally, is the MM3-WebAssistant.
Other offline browsers follow links on the page automatically and save all the pages reached on your hard disk. They can then be browsed after you have disconnected.
