    If you want "working offline" in google chrome you can install "Quick & Dirty Proxy Flipper" extension. Then, set it in "localhost:8080". Bye

    You say "Work Offline". I do not think that means what you think it means.

    I clicked on your page because it said one of the tips was how to 'Work Offline', but the tip is only for Gmail. Your headline makes it sound like it is a tip for a general offline mode in Chrome, and I suspect it's deliberately misleading to get page hits, knowing many people are hoping Chrome will include an offline mode or that there is some way to do it we aren't yet aware of.

    With a cloud-based bookmarking platform there's no need to backup or sync your bookmarks because they are automatically backed up and inherently synched, and all your bookmarks are always available using any browser from any computer, mobile phone or tablet. I prefer iCrumz.com.
