A new update for the fashionable browser on Android is giving much to talk about, since it allows you to download pages to see them offline whenever you want . This was one of those functions so expected by users, so we show you how to download pages to see offline with the new Chrome 55 .
First of all, clarify that with this new option you do not save the entire web, only the page that you are seeing in the browser. You could say that it is like a cache system that allows us to consult webs when we do not have an internet connection , so each web that we save occupies space in our internal storage.
To access this new option we must go through the menu that is displayed at the top when clicking on the icon with three points. In this menu we see that a new icon appears in the form of an arrow pointing downwards .
This functionality downloads all the HTML code of the web page that we want to save and also images, but not multimedia contents such as video or audio. Before you try to download YouTube videos with this new functionality, we've already told you that it does not work (we've also tried other video websites like Vimeo or Dailymotion and do not download this type of videos) .
To open a page that we have downloaded, access the downloads and select the snapshot of the web. We can see that in the address bar now a "No connection" is shown before the URL. The web pages that we download to see them offiline can be deleted from the downloads section , making a long press on the item and clicking the trash can icon.
This new functionality is an extra that will put into question services like Pocket that offer something very similar. The update to Google Chrome 55 will be available in Play Store and will be distributed gradually to all users, but if you want to wait you can always use other sources such as APKMirror .
