A wallet is said to be an online wallet when it is connected to the Internet.Online wallets are not recommended at least when storing large amounts of ether or storing ether for a long time because they are risky.
A wallet is said to be an offline wallet when it is not connected to the Internet. For example, wallets stored in pen drives, papers, text files, and so on. Offline wallets are also called cold wallets. I recommended offline wallets because they are safe. Anyone can't hack offline wallets as they do not connect to the internet. So I suggest trezor hardware wallet is the best way to store bitcoins.

where to store your coins is highly dependable on your preference, offline wallets however are safer from hackers as its almost impossible to pick passwords of hack when offline
There's a lot of difference between the two but it is about how you can secure them and you aren't negligent about your addresses and private key you can certainly make out safe without being scammed and hacked.
Offline wallets are safer and more secure but may be inconvenient for daily coins transfer. Online wallets are good for daily trading but keep only amount you can afford to lose in online wallets
Why you need to use online wallet for the daily usage you still can use software wallet like elcetrum for daily usage purpose and it is available in android platfor too so you can impost your wallet into the mobile by using private seeds so your bitcoin will be much safer than in the online wallet.
I would personally recommend offline wallet.
I can check the online wallets and i think the online wallet are more useful for me than other wallets and the bitcoin wallet are functioning through the internet and the online nature is good with the time the technology changed and the people are now like to use the online wallet and they will make some online transactions if they have the online currency and bitcoin is the golden currency for now while for offline wallets you have the physical status of the currency but you will not use it for online usage.
I think there is no comparison of both wallets. Both have different qualities which differ both according to uses. If we look about daily needs. For this small amount needs at different places. we need money which acceptable at all places and here online payment hard to use.
On other way where big amount involve and for any online purchasing there is big amount is hard to carry for offline payments. Then there is online wallet is better.
So i think both are different and there is not competition.

Online wallet works the best because you can have it anytime and anywhere if there is an internet. Offline wallets needs to have exchanger to convert your BTC to fiat. That's why many people preferred online wallet.
Offline wallet is more secured than online wallet because it isn't hacked proof unless you got a malware you downloaded and didn't see or it. In online wallets there's so many suspicious and phishing site that's roaming around the net and you can't see what's the difference between the orignal site and phishing site so I'll go in offline/Hardware wallets.
choose a wallet depending on the amount of funds you have. if your funds a lot and want to keep safe for long time I prefer offline / hardware wallet. but if you used to use it every day you sould use the online wallet anyway I do not recommend storing in large amount. this day hardware wallet are really becoming trend in safeing crypto in large amount.
I think online wallet is easier to use, in terms of security we need not hesitate if we enable the 2FA feature, especially now many web wallets are also equipped with Vault feature so it takes a long time to withdraw or send.
Offline wallets are definitely safer and less prone to hacks but really if you need to use your coins often then an online wallet is best which provides quick and easy access to your coins. But if you have coins for the purpose of holding only, then you should use an offline wallet.
yes thats right, in some areas online wallets seems to be more vulnerable than in an offline wallet and it more secure that we must keep our tokens in offline wallet, however offline wallet is not very safe at all, think of the possibility that when your computer crush you dont have anything to be save, but when in an online wallet just connect to the network and then you may access it, it is like convenience and its security purpose but my vote is for offline wallets.
I prefer an offline wallet, but for regular use mobile wallet or online wallet.

I personally prefer the online rather than the offline because i'm a bit anxious with offline if malware comes to my wallet. But occasionally I use offline wallet for signature message.

Offline wallet definitely preferred! I feel like this is the best way because only you truly have access to it. Therefore, making it the safest way as well.
If by offline you mean desktop wallets and by online you mean web wallets than yeah off line wallets are much better due to security reasons. Off line wallets are always going to be much safer cause only you have access to the private keys,
