Features & Capabilities

Pinboard WebExtension is a free Chrome extension designed to make saving links to your Pinboard account seamless and efficient. It recreates the functionality of the original official Pinboard extension, updated for modern browsers using the WebExtensions platform to ensure compatibility with Firefox 60 and newer.

Key features include "Save to Pinboard," "Read Later," and "Save tab set." The extension offers a versatile toolbar button with theme compatibility, context menu integration, and customizable keyboard shortcuts. Users must be logged into Pinboard to save links, with the extension securely handling authentication via the official Pinboard login form without storing credentials. Note that some features have limitations in Private Browsing mode due to browser restrictions.

Is Pinboard WebExtension 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.

Pinboard WebExtension requires a few sensitive permissions. 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.

Pinboard WebExtension has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
