Currently, finch is the only mechanism controlling offline previews, but about:flags should expose a way to turn on offline previews for every navigation, slow connection navigations, and disabled in additional to the default value.
I am using an enabled/disable type flag. tbansal@ is adding a NQE dropdown flag in about:flags. The user would enable offline previews with default field trial values and only get offline previews on 2G or worse. To simulate slow networks they should use the NQE flag.
