Offline Browsing Inside Google Chrome

Internet Explorer and Firefox offers an online mode that allows us to auto save copy of the web pages you browse using the internet and display them locally when you are not connected to the internet. Thus if you are offline in a flight, you can still browse the web pages that you accessed when you are online.

Offline Browsing Through Google Chrome

The recent versions of the google chrome also support offline browsing through the option to easily access hidden cached version of any web page.

While inside google chrome, type chrome://flags/ to access the experimental features page and search for "Enable Offline Load Stale Button" option. Click enable on this option and restart your browser.

Now if you are offline, your Chrome browser will give you an option to load the “stale copy” if the page you are trying to access is available in the local cache.

Google Chrome caches the HTML content, images, JavaScript and the CSS style sheets associated with a page so your offline copy should not look very different from the original. However, if there are resources that require an active Internet connection, like JavaScript widgets or videos, they’ll be replaced with placeholder images.

To test the feature, open any page inside Chrome, turn off your Wi-Fi or disconnect the Ethernet cable, and restart the browser. If the offline mode is enabled, the cached version of the page would show up on your screen.

Format a Write Protected USB Flash Drive On Windows

Some times we are fed up with an USB flash drive of large storage which sits on our office drawer, ironically taking up space. Why? because we can't put any thing else on it. It is write protected.

There are many ways to remove write protection. A simple way is by using command line on windows.

Steps for Removing Write Protection By Disk Part Command Line Utility

First click on start and type cmd in search for programs and files field. It should show up at top of your start menu. Right click on it and select Run As Administrator.

You should see the command line utility like this

Type the command DISKPART and hit Enter. DiskPart is a disk partitioning tool which is built in to windows and can be accessed through command line. By using it we can change the values associated with your USB Drive.

Now Type LIST DISK and hit Enter. You should see a table something like the one below. It shows two disks being available: the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) as Disk 0, and the USB flash drive as Disk 1. We know the USB flash drive is Disk 1 because it is much smaller than Disk 0 at only 7441 MB versus 298 GB. Be very careful from here on out! You can see that if you start working with the wrong disk, things can get ugly quicker than when the lights come at last call.

At this point type SELECT DISK 1 and hit Enter. Now the Disk 1 is selected disk. Type in ATTRIBUTES DISK, and disk part will tell you what you want to know about your flash drive. Most important is the first line Current Read-Only State: Yes. This lets us know that, indeed the flash drive is write protected.

To remove the write protection with the disk part. Type the command ATTRIBUTES DISK CLEAR READONLY. if it works you should see the line Disk attributes cleared successfully.

Now You can check by trying to copy a file in to your USB flash drive. If it works, great. But if you still get the write protected error, then you should try software utilities like Apacer USB3.0 repair tool or Kingston format utility.
