If you have the opportunity to open a site without an Internet connection, you can work using offline mode. But in this case, you will be able to open only those resources that have already been viewed before. In order for you to understand what is at stake, imagine that you read some article on the Internet. After a while, you decided to do it again, but the connection was interrupted. In this case, offline mode is enabled.
Your computer has the ability to remember some pages of visited sites. Offline mode in this case will allow them to open when the Internet connection is inactive. True, previously visited sites will not always open in this mode.
Now, when almost every apartment has unlimited Internet, this mode is practically not used, however, in cases where it is necessary to pay for each megabyte, it will be very useful. So if the issue of saving traffic is relevant for you, you can periodically activate this feature. True, users may run into another problem. It happens that when you launch a browser, you get a message from him about the impossibility of opening a particular site due to the active offline mode.
Let's talk about how to disable offline mode in some common browsers. For example, in the Opera, when you try to switch to some resource, you will see a message on the display that this mode is currently active, therefore it is impossible to work with sites. After that, you will be offered instructions on how to disable offline mode. To do this, you must click on the retry button and reload your page. After these steps, this mode should turn off, and the site you need will load.
As for such a popular browser as Chrome, there is no offline mode in it, so there will never be such problems there. I do not know why the developers decided that it would not be useful to users. Perhaps in the future this feature will be implemented in it.
As for how to disable offline mode in another well-known browser called Mazila, this procedure is similar to the opera one. But you can still do this without waiting for the appearance of such warnings. To do this, call the menu through the “File” tab, in which to uncheck the line of battery life.
At Opera, this is done by clicking on the menu button, which is located on the very top line, and there you need to click on the settings section in which to deactivate offline work. Also, this browser has another way to turn off offline mode. In Opera, you can use its inherent function of bringing out various buttons on the panel. So do it with the button that is responsible for this mode.
We examined with you what offline mode is in browsers, what it is for, how to disable it. Just do not confuse this function with similar in some games. Steam offline mode has nothing to do with this. The names are really very similar, but this is the only similarity.
