Some notes about developing offline web apps with Chrome

I have been doing a fair bit of work developing offline support in web apps lately, I thought I'd share a few problems I've learnt along the way.

• Chrome's emulate offline mode doesn't trigger online/offline events
• If you have Virtual box installed, Chrome won't detect if you are offline
• Chrome's network throttling doesn't affect uploads
• The workflow for toggling offline mode in Chrome is painful, Firefox is much better and there is a nice extension Work Offline which gives you a toggle offline toolbar icon 

The above links are all (nearly all) bug reports, please star the issues if you care about them, please don't spam the bug reports with useless "I'd like to see this fixed" messages.

Hopefully this info might save you a bit of time
