Caching website offline with chrome or firefox

Hey Everyone,

I travel a lot by train in the Netherlands, where the internet is good enough to get your email, but not to actively visit websites. Now I want to do some research. Is there a way to have a website in chrome or firefox automatically saved when I visit it?

Now I want to do some searching while I’m offline. Is there a way to have a website in chrome or firefox automatically saved when I visit it?

I have often already visited the pages once.

Hi there dseegersmail,

File > Save Page As…

Hi @coothead,

First of all yes.
The problem is not that I cannot save pages manually.
But I visit a lot of pages, so it would me great to have the pages that I visited offline.

I use to clone websites (httrack), but then I clone the complete website

I think you will find that,

File > Save Page As…

…does exactly that. :winky:

Here is one that I made earlier…

Please explain how you think “something” could know what to save or not to save and where to save.

This extension claims to be able to do what you want:

SingleFile is a Web Extension (and a CLI tool) compatible with Chrome, Firefox (Desktop and Mobile), Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi, Brave, Waterfox, Yandex browser, and Opera. It helps you to save a complete web page into a single HTML file.

With auto-save active, pages are automatically saved every time after being loaded (or before being unloaded if not).

I’ve not tried it myself, so YMMV.
