Now with Android chrome you can read your previously visited pages offline even when you do not have an internet connection.Google added this option last year but there is new update for it now. For the new users you can tap any link and then choose the download link option from the pop up menu that appears.
When you are offline and you want to load a page, you can tap the download page later button. When you get connected next time, Chrome will get that page.
So now there is no need to find the downloads and you can just open a new tab and chrome will display downloaded pages with an offline badge. You can view those directly
You can still go to the menu and tap downloads to see your saved pages which you visited earlier.
