PhistucK, I most certainly use Gmail, and when running FF versions, I can enable the «Offline» option on my 64-bit Karmic setup, but when I attempt to do so on Chromium (currently v 4.0.272.0 (Ubuntu build 34555)), a message to the effect that email offline is not supported by my browser is displayed. This, despite the fact that when I click the «Read more» button, I am linked to a page on which I find the following (my translation from the Swedish) : «Gmail works Offline in all browsers that are supported by Gears (Firefox 1.5+, Internet Explorer 6.0+ and Chrome)». What's going on ?...
