Description Patrick ALLAERT 2010-03-19 11:56:01 UTC 
Google gears aware web applications's doesn't seem to detect it. They redirect to Gear's installation page which says the browser is not supported!?
This happens for example from Google Documents clicking on the "Offline" button.

The short story is that HTML 5 will make Gears obsolete.
