Out of all app that is like pocket this really is the closest 1 and if you are wondering why it aint working right away its cause you need to add it to toolbar and then click it to login to your account first.

Best replacement for pocket. I tried some alternative applications for saving links due to end of pocket, and PaperSpan is the winner for this! Absolutely recommended!

Is PaperSpan Safe?

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.

PaperSpan requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.

PaperSpan may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
