Internet browsing is highly dependent on the real-time network availability and speed. This becomes a significant constraint when browsing over slow and intermittent networks. This paper describes a readily deployable system designed for web browsing over slow, intermittent networks - OWeB, that is minimally dependent on the real-time network availability and requires no changes on the part of the web servers. The system subscribes to Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds from web servers and pre-fetches all new content as specified in the feed. Since the RSS feeds are published by web servers they give accurate information about the new and updated content.
