Summary

Have a habit of opening too many links in your chrome browser and wishing to read all of them ? This is what I call link hopping. It presents us with some major problems:

  1. Too many links opened in your browser, resulting in huge sluggishness while working on other tabs.
  2. Your major work tabs are lost in the sea of many read later tabs.
  3. Bookmarking a links is for links which you liked and want to use for later reference.
  4. If you just want to finish reading links later and then delete them from your todo list this is the right extension for you.
  5. Save and Sync across all your chrome logged in browsers, with just a click of the button.

IMPORTANT: You need to be logged into Chrome and have your extension sync settings enabled in order to sync your links across devices. You can do this via chrome://settings/syncSetup. This will prevent you from losing all your links if you re-install Chrome or if you want to use it on another computer with your Chrome logged in.

UPDATE: 4.0.3

Allow backward compatibility with URL's not having timestamp.

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.
