Offline Browsers: Add 'Minimize To Tray' Feature To Your Favorite Offline Browser

Offline browsers offer a number of advantages for those who work in the Internet. That is why many people all over the world use them.

The most notable offline browser feature is the ability to create an exact duplicate of a website on your hard drive. When you want to mirror a site, you just point your favorite offline browser (e.g. Internet Researcher or Teleport Pro) to it. Then you usually switch to another application and work with it, while the offline browser is doing its job.

At this point it may be very convenient to minimize an offline browser to the system tray.

When you minimize your offline browser to system tray you save taskbar space while preserving the quick access to the application via the system tray icon.

Using this feature is very simple: you just click the title bar button and it minimizes your offline browser to the tray icon.
