Work Offline: Efficient Chrome Extension for Offline Browsing
'Work Offline' is a handy Chrome extension specifically designed to make the web browsing user experience more efficient. It provides the user with the ability to toggle between online and offline modes, with the offline mode preventing web requests from being sent or received by web pages. Notable features include the ability to still use web-based extensions while in offline mode, browsing local HTML files offline, and tab-specific offline settings. It also supports navigator.onLine, 'online' and 'offline' events, and respects global offline and online browser level events.

User reviews
Thanks! Very useful tool. It would be even better if you add an option to disable that confirmation message that says: "Are you sure you want to switch to online mode for this tab?" and another option to create a keyboard shortcut to toggle offline mode for a tab.
