Caching website offline with chrome or firefox

Community

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 @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:

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.
