In Chrome and Safari, if the browser is not able to connect to a local area network (LAN) or a router, it is offline; all other conditions return true. So while you can assume that the browser is offline when it returns a false value, you cannot assume that a true value necessarily means that the browser can access the internet. You could be getting false positives, such as in cases where the computer is running a virtualization software that has virtual ethernet adapters that are always "connected." Therefore, if you really want to determine the online status of the browser, you should develop additional means for checking.
**NOTE:** If Electron is not able to connect to a local area network (LAN) or
a router, it is considered offline; all other conditions return true.

positives, such as in cases where the computer is running a virtualization
software that has virtual ethernet adapters that are always "connected."
