This software archives visited web pages for online and offline use, keeping the original URL intact. Users can access bookmarks and browse the archive just like surfing the internet, with no difference in functionality.
I had the pleasure of using WebAssistant, an offline browser with some exciting features. It's a personal proxy server that stands behind your regular browser (Firefox, IE, Safari, Chrome, etc.), handling the network traffic silently and swiftly. One of the most remarkable things about this software is that you don't have to indicate which sites to capture explicitly. The application remembers everything you see, and it automatically adds new pages to the cache. Even better, it updates your cached pages in the background, ensuring you always have the latest content.
The benefits of using WebAssistant are numerous, chief among them the ability to work offline. Whether you're on a plane or beach, with this software, you don't have to worry about having the information you need at your fingertips. It reduces the pressure of knowing what to save and the need to repeat browsing sessions looking for something you missed. You can even incorporate the web into your presentations or talks when you don't have internet access.
Mobile users stand to benefit as well, as they can access information from the web without worrying about expensive access points. With WebAssistant, you can avoid overpriced Wi-Fi access ports - or at least pay for only what you need.
Some of the notable features of WebAssistant include automatic archiving of all pages visited, acceleration of online browsing and archive updates, automatic mirroring, prefetch, and updating. There's no difference between on- and offline browsing, so you can use your bookmarks or search your pages offline when there's no network connection.
For quick navigation, links to resources of cache archives are marked, and the software compares HTML pages from the internet and archive. The changes are highlighted, and there's interactive navigation in the original hierarchy of downloaded pages. You can also get an overview of HTML and text files, similar to the hit list of a search engine, with keywords highlighted by your search. WebAssistant supports the protocols HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP and filters unwanted content, like advertising.
Overall, I found WebAssistant to be an excellent offline browsing tool, offering all the features you need to stay connected to the internet even when you aren't.
