Summary

If you like to hide bookmarks bar while want quick access to Instapaper bookmarklet, this extension is designed for you.

Feature:

Add a button to the toolbar,

Single click: run Instapaper bookmarklet on current page (if current page has no URL, open Instapaper unread page) Double click: open Instapaper unread page in new tab

In my experience, the bookmarklet works better than other send to Instapaper extensions. (e.g. handles article title better, works on Google Reader.) That's why I created this extension instead of using existing ones.

Credit:

The idea of double click to open unread page and the implementation trick comes from Jamie, who provides a similar extension for Chrome. But it's not updated since Sept. 2010 and does not work for me. So I created this new one, using Chrome's new event page which should save resource usage.
