We are living in the modern era that is developing well with the launch of the internet technology. It would be hard to imagine our daily life without the web activities. Yes, the internet plays a vital role in enhancing the quality of our life.
We use the internet to do everything! Wherever we go, we need internet access on our mobile gadgets to stay connected with work, friends & family or education. We would hesitate to go our friend’s home who doesn’t have a Wi-Fi connection.
Even though it is possible to put a reliable internet access in our pocket, sometimes we unable to get connectivity due to poor coverage, need to change network preferences or we have to troubleshoot to fix the “No SIM/Invalid SIM” error.
So, when you’re on the move, how do you access the internet pages offline from your mobile devices? It would be good to have some online materials (may be your favorite stuff) accessible to get a pleasurable experience against no connectivity problems, right?
I often travel to my native, which is a beautiful village where I can get only a limited internet access. Thus, I have some handy tools on my mobile devices to download website for offline to read it later. Likewise, I’ve installed a few chrome extensions to save website offline and read without ads/clutter.
Let me tell you some useful tools to download website content and read without internet connection.
