  Not sure why they went that way either..."Offline Cache Causes Duplicate Asset Downloads" would have caught my attention just fine.

    Not a web technology expert, but apparently the appcache feature is deprecated (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Using_the_application_cache https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Using_the_...) and this dead horse has already been beaten to... er, death? before (http://alistapart.com/article/application-cache-is-a-douchebag http://alistapart.com/article/application-cache-is-a-doucheb...). I could be missing something, though. EDIT: Forgot to mention that both links come straight from that article.

      Service workers are the way to go now.

        But they aren't available in Safari. And on mobile, where appcache should be most relevant, Safari can have a significant market share.

          They'll come around. And in the meantime, at least Chrome users can benefit.

            Until they come around, all iOS users are without service workers, because Chrome on iOS is backed by WKWebView [1]. AFAIK, any custom browser on iOS is required to use WKWebView.

          Take a spin at DronaHQ. It allows you to build offline web apps that works cross platform

          iOS Safari has become the IE of mobile?
