User reviews

Thank you for everytihing, I have used this extension for a long time, because of the Chrome policy I had to bookmark all the links I had in the Read later, also because of this after so much time I am abandoning the Chrome, I just dont support the Google and Chrome policy like this. Thank you and best wishes!

Simples de suar. Salva, desde que que logado com a conta no navegador. Não salva múltiplas abas, infelizmente.

Assente la funzione "Seleziona tutto" e non si possono aprire tutti i link, ma solo uno alla volta. The "Select all" function is absent, you cannot open all the links, but only one at a time.
