The offline mode feature on these browsers automatically keeps a copy of all the web pages you have browsed while you were online, enabling you to view the same pages when you will be offline. Sadly, the much loved Google Chrome browser does not come with this feature by default. Today Innov8tiv will show you how to enable the offline mode on Chrome.

The offline mode feature comes in quite handy in very many scenarios, one of which is when you board the aircraft, and you do not have internet access while flying. You can still do some capitalize on that time spent in the air, to get some work done. Simply open all the webpages you think might be useful to you, and your browser will make a copy of all those web pages and you will later open them up and view them offline.
