Super-Cache

Helps in overriding cache policy

Super-Cache - Powerful Cache Control Chrome Extension

Super-Cache is an effective Chrome extension designed to control caching behaviour on the client side. It empowers users to override caching policies set by the server. The tool is highly useful in that it ensures all requests from the selected host are cached, along with static content that originates from different hosts. This is particularly useful for linked external scripts and sites on different domains, where the extension applies the same caching behaviour.

I was expecting caching to allow sites to be opened without internet access But it doesn't, at least not for this site: https://ray.so/.

Extension icon is invisible against a dark theme.
