Was looking for a way to add things to pinterest when there was no pin option on page but was looking for an add-on w/minimal access to my data. I'm using Windows 10 and after adding this extension, no pin option appeared on my address bar as stated in another review. There is no 'pin' button. Instead, access to the add-on is under the Extensions button (it looks like a puzzle piece). On the page you want to save something from, click the extension button, then the Pinterest Light extension from the drop down menu. Go to the new window that opens, scroll down to see the 'save from URL' button. Copy/paste the url, choose what pic you want, choose board, done. Works great, appreciate this simple/light extension. Suggestion: in the description, provide info on where/how to access the extension. I read all the reviews and still had to hunt around to find where/how to access.

Is pinterest_light 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.

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