Contrary to "dwww" this service will have manpages for packages which
are not locally installed on your machine.

For example, while looking at the manpage for x (which is a binary in
X) it refers you to the manpage for y (which is in package Y). Now if
you have X installed but not Y, then you don't know whether
installing Y will really help you solve your problem.

With the online version you can actually see the manpage for y
without installing Y.
