I hate those moments when you are without the internet, yet you still need to see a webpage that you were looking at just moments earlier. It's annoying but if you are running chrome or firefox then you can open a recently viewed webpages while offline. It is very simple.
This can be imperfect since the page can change while you are offline, rendering the save version not correctly and the browser cache only contains a limited amount of your recent browsing history. It also doesn't work on the sites that provide live feeds of content, such as facebook or netflix.
If you need a information from a news item or another site you were just watching, try one of these solutions.
To get ready for offline mode in chrome type chrome://flags/#show-saved-copy in the URL address bar. Then select enable. Primary from the dropdown menu under the Enable Show Saved Copy Button Heading.
Once that's done, restart your browser for the feature to take effect.
To test a cached page, take your PC offline and open a webpage from your recent browsing history. You should see typical offline error message except, now you will also see a saved copy button as pictured above. Click on that button and you will see the version of the webpage as it was when you were last online.
In my test, Chrome's cache would only show you saved copies of sites going back about half an hour. Inspite of that was during my work day, when I seen an great amount of web content. your experience may different.
That is all there is to see cached webpages offline. It is not a perfect solution but in a pinch knowing these tricks can come in really handy.
