Description

Enterprise grade applications (such as Outlook Web Access, GMail etc) need to allow some functionality even when the browser is Offline state.

It would be helpful to reflect in the telemetry when a certain operation on the browser side was triggered when the browser was in offline state.

There's an interesting thread about it here:

Research direction

Start by tracing the browser-side telemetry path for operations and review the linked cross-browser online/offline detection discussion. Done should mean telemetry indicates when an operation was triggered while the browser was offline, including the expected behavior across supported browsers.
