Abstract
A unique system and method that facilitates storing virtually all web content that has been viewed or visited by a user on the user's local cache for access anytime by the user. The system and method involve monitoring the user's web activity. Pages that have been viewed or visited can be saved at timed intervals to a local cache. If pages have been updated, those changes can be saved. Thus, multiple versions of a web page can be accessed and the user can select which version to view. The updated page can be visually modified to distinguish between older and newer content. If offline, the user can still view desired pages by accessing them from the local cache. By saving the user's web activity, the user can resume a previous browsing session. A user can also choose to receive periodic notifications when changes to previously viewed pages occur.
