I couldn't get isolated chrome to start up google docs in offline state.
But it did start up gmail offline.
Anyone have success with google docs offline?
I don't mean just the ability to keep on typing if the internet connection is spotty. I mean opening the google docs interface from cold, without internet.
You use this?

nope, that is for editing docs in Word format. I edit in the native google format

Oh it's the extension i removed. Will check later today on the vm and tell you.
thanks
FYI: if google docs offline was not previously enabled, you might have to give it a few minutes to get set up, and also you need to actively edit the file you want to open offline.

Weird. Page fails to load when offline even when not in rehips. You sure it works in general without rehips?
just tried it, works fine for me

Then i am doing something wrong. Can you give me step by step instructions?
try like this:
upload a Word file to google drive.
click on it to open it.
choose to open in google docs
if it opened in compatibility mode, save it as a proper google doc.
now, google docs should be available.

I did this and it worked in offline mode within isolated Chrome.

good to know!
I must have some conflict or something, when I need to use it next time, I will have to get back to you...

Good. Also if you didn't know you can make any file run offline by going to the link given below, clicking on the 3 dots on the right of the file and selecting available offline.

I reinstalled ReHIPS, and not only does google docs offline work without hitch, but isolated chrome is much faster than I remember it. It used to be a little bit sluggish.
I wish I knew what changed for the better on my system. I still have that troublemaker called HMPA...

With all those updates HMPA puts out each month who knows mate(it's the second sandboxie with all this updates). Have a feeling it's more problem than good but each to what he likes.
what do you use to keep your browser out of trouble?
Even though it's isolated, but you still want your login credentials to stay safe, etc.

If you mean antiphishing i use Emsisoft AM and now added an extension similar to wot called avast online security that does phishing protection.
Other than that i use a password manager and the browser is isolated so no other application i have can affect it.
So don't think anything can happen. Even if they have a 0 day exploit they need to hack a site to see it because i block all ads. Let's say they even hack a site i use and a 0 day exploit for chrome downloads(if it's an exploit for adobe or something else it will not work because rehips isolates chrome)and escapes chrome sandbox. Now lets say it downloads the payload and runs, when i get the alert i click allow it will need to pass Emsisoft heuristics. Then the malware will need to grab the info from the password manager probably by redirecting me to a phishing site.
So many steps that is probably impossible for it to happen at least for my usage and the malware needs to be smart enough to do all the steps needed for my setup.
Might not be 100% correct on the technical details because i am no experts but you get the idea.
thanks
HMPA latest beta is actually working pretty well for me, at least right now
I'll ditch it when it starts acting up again...
HMP.A always causes problems one way or another. As soon as you find that it is stable and everything is working OK, it will be updated or you will update it, and then things will go right back to being broken again.
