<li><b>unchecked</b>: Forbid web access. XOWA will not connect to the internet under any circumstances. This is equivalent to pulling the network cable for XOWA only.
<p>Note that this may cause the app to not behave properly. For example:
</p>
<ul>
<li> Images will not download, even if "Retrieve files" is checked
</li>
<li> Import links on Import/List will not work
</li>
<li> Download dump status on Wiki/Maintenance will not work
</li>
<li> etc..
</li>
</ul>
<p>Also, note that this only controls XOWA's access to the internet. <ahref="/wiki/Options/Apps"id="xolnki_2"title="Options/Apps"tabindex="-1">Viewer apps</a> may still access the internet. For example, clicking on an external link will still launch a "Web browser". If you have VLC set up to play media files, it may access the internet when you click on a media file. A PDF app may try to update itself when you click on a PDF file.

<p>XOWA currently consolidates visits to the same page as one entry. For example, 3 visits to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth would show up only once with the <code>date</code> being the most recent one. The <code>date</code> for the previous two entries would be lost. This option retains dates for all 3 entries by logging each visit to a separate file.

This is a performance optimization with privacy implications

<ul>
<li><b>mem</b>: Load HTML through memory by calling <code>browser.setText(html)</code>. For unknown reasons, SWT / XULRunner uses more memory when loading HTML by setText -- as much as 5 - 10 MB for a page like en.w:Earth.
</li>
<li><b>url</b>: Load HTML through the file system by calling <code>browser.setUrl(file, html)</code>. This call uses less memory, but requires writing the HTML to disk. (see /xowa/user/anonymous/app/tmp/html) Although setting HTML via disk is theoretically slower than memory, the time difference is not noticeable. This may be more of an issue for users with privacy concerns. For more info on the latter, see <ahref="/wiki/Help/Privacy"id="xolnki_7"title="Help/Privacy"tabindex="-1">Help/Privacy</a>.
</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that <b>mem</b> is currently the default, but <b>url</b> will be made the default in a future release.
