The extension allows you to add a book to a shelf without leaving the page you are on. It is designed to work on individual product pages, and it works for popular sites such as Amazon, Google Books and many others.

How it works: This extension loads the "Add to My Books" widget (http://www.goodreads.com/api/atmb_widget) using an ISBN or ASIN number scraped from the current tab. The extension is not designed for pages with multiple book identification numbers, and it will simply choose the first valid book identification number that it detects on the page. Since the extension is not limited to a specific book site, it requires the "Your data on all websites" and "Your tabs and browsing activity" permissions.

This extension is an upgraded version of the original Add to Goodreads extension.

One of the most underrated goodreads extension. Works flawlessly. Kuddos to the developer. PS: Just a suggestion. Would be nice to see an option to add books to custom bookselves.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Add Book to Goodreads requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Add Book to Goodreads has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
