Google Gears is an open source browser extension that enables web applications to provide offline functionality using JavaScript APIs. Due to the concern about internet security, building web application which store and serve sensitive information locally on users’ own computers are very useful.
It is a similar idea with Apollo which enable offline use of web applications. From now on, users can store data locally in their database on their own computer. So that some users can use the web application they like, at the same time prevent their sensitive information being hacked by storing their information locally.
Requirements: Windows XP / Vista, Internet Explorer 6.0+, Firefox 1.5+

how can i use this programe?
Exactly, they are touting Gears, but have copmpletely forgotten to explain how.
I have downloaded and installed Gears, but even so nothing shows in Windows or browsers.
PLEASE EXPLAIN.
Gears works with a select group of sites that are specifically designed for compatibility. When you visit a site that’s configured to work with Gears, you should see a message stating “The website below wants to use Gears.” If you’d like to allow the use of Gears on this site, simply check the box next to “I trust this site. Allow it to use Gears.” and click the Allow button.
Note: Once you’ve allowed a site to use Gears, you won’t see this message again on that site.
