There's no Save to Pocket icon in my toolbar anywhere, so there's no way for this to work.

Excellent! Small, quick and easy. The official Pocket extension had caused severe CPU spikes on my laptop and it took me weeks to find out what was causing it. I didn't need half the features it had anyway. This extension here gives me all I need - add a new item, done. No bloat. Thank you!

Супер расширение. Родное от покета лагало и не всегда давало сохранять страницы. С данным расширением ни одной ошибки! Добавляет все!
