It's both. Not great for suddenly offline, as you need it on all the time and it is slow. But if you can plan it like, you're going in a mine, or spaceship or airplane, or the bush, or an alien attack or whatever... and you need offline to keep reading, then this works.
You can have archives from x day or x week or whatever, organized yourself, versioned with git, as you like, to save web content through version changes, removal or vanishing.
It's a concern I have every time I find a particularly interesting independently hosted blog post or article.
The Internet Archive goes a long way towards making me worry about this less, though. (Let's just hope they don't go away!)
