You might look at woffled:

I used it for a while and was happy enough with it. It's feature
complete, to be sure, but occasionally it can annoy you. Once in a while
(especially in hotels that are faking website responses to force you to
log in) you have to turn it off completely (ie change proxy setting in
`gnome-network-preferences`).

What it lacked, by in large, was co-ordination with the web browser.
While not anywhere as functional, just telling my browser to be in
offline mode is generally enough - even though it's cache is tiny.
