The WikiBrowse activity is an offline snapshot of Wikipedia. It's implemented as a highly compressed DB of wikitext, with a local BaseHTTPServer-based webserver which decompresses and serves pages. The browser component subclasses from the Browse activity, so if Browse is not installed the WikiBrowse activity will fail to launch.

The OLPC Library system provides a local HTML (and other formats) content library which can be accessed using the Browse activity. Content bundles saved as .xol files are installed into the local "library" which causes them to be added to the Browse homepage. This system works, but there are complaints that the content is "hidden", distribution tools are weak, and the possibilities for interactive pages are limited by the lack of a web server.
