It is not always possible to have a computer or, more often, a cellphone or tablet, connected to the internet to read news, watch videos, listen to music and so on. When you are on the move or on the go and can't get a Wi-Fi connection, you can't even open a website, either from a mobile phone or from a computer or tablet or iPad.
To avoid being lost without a connection, the best way to solve this problem is to prepare for such eventualities, using tools capable of automatically saving the sites that are opened, so that you can visit and navigate them even when you are offline.
Between blogs, websites, online newspapers, video sites, e-mails and more, all the internet can be viewed offline without connection if you prepare and with the right tools.
Taking the main free plugins for web browsers such as Chrome on PC, for Android phones and tablets, for iPhone and iPad, let's see how to read the news and websites offline, even without a connection .
READ FIRST: Save web pages and videos with Chrome on Android
1) On any computer and on Android you can activate the offline mode Chrome which allows you to load web pages from their cached version.
2) On Google Chrome you can install the Instapaper application, also available for Firefox, which allows you to open it on your computer browser or on a mobile phone, after saving them.
Every time you open a website, you can press the right mouse button on a page and then mark it to read it later.
3) Pocket is a popular application that works similarly to Read Later Fast.
You can install Pocket on Google Chrome or Firefox on your computer, then also on your Android phone or tablet and on iPhone and iPad .
Each link that is saved in Pocket from PC, can also be opened from mobile phone or tablet because there is a synchronization of the saved web pages.
Every time you open Pocket, you synchronize and download recently saved objects and you can choose whether to start the download only with wifi or also with data connection.
As it is written on the presentation page of the service, if it is in Pocket, it is also in the mobile phone or tablet without needing an internet connection.
In this way, if you prepare from home, for example, by quickly saving, without reading them, web pages of a travel forum or the articles of the main newspapers, you can then read them comfortably from your mobile device which, after each save, download the contents of the selected sites.
4) Only on Android can you surf the internet without a connection using the Offline Browser .
This very simple and somewhat spartan browser allows you to indicate the address of a site and download the entire page and all those linked to it.
So if you go to www.navigaweb.net with offline browser, after starting the download, you can read the articles of the last few days from your smartphone or tablet whenever you want, even without internet.
5) For iPhone and iPad there is a similar application called Offline Reader that works in much the same way, downloading the sites to be able to visit them later, without connection and offline.
As already seen in other articles, there are many applications that make their content available even offline, both on PC and on tablet or mobile phone.
To give some examples we have seen:
- Offline Gmail
- Google Drive offline
- Google Maps Offline
- Google Play Music to listen to music on Android which, after a first upload, allows you to hear the songs even without the internet.
