browser add-ons

Add-ons (extensions) for Firefox and Chrome are available, though neither are distributed via the official stores — addons.mozilla.org and the Chrome Web Store.

firefox

Installing the Firefox extension is easy:

• Head over to https://github.com/forlater-email/save-forlater/releases/
• Click the save-forlater-1.0-an+fx.xpi file. Firefox will automatically begin installing it.

chrome(ium)

This is a little more involved and is far from user-friendly. Thanks, Google.

• Head over to https://github.com/forlater-email/save-forlater/releases/
• Download the chrome.crx file and unzip it
• Navigate to chrome://extensions
• Enable ‘Developer mode’ (top right)
• Click on ‘Load unpacked’ and point it to the previously unzipped directory

usage

Both extensions have a browser action (a button on your toolbar), that on clicking, will open your default mail client with the current tab’s URL in the body, addressed to save@forlater.email. The subject is left blank (we don’t need it).

That’s us in the middle!

Additionally, both extensions also have a context menu (right click on any page) option. Does the same thing as the browser action button.
