Diigo Web Collector - Capture and Annotate

Bookmark, Archive, Screenshot & Markup - All-In-One Web Collector, must-have research tool

Diigo Web Collector is the ultimate all-in-one research tool designed for bookmarking, archiving, annotating, and screenshotting webpages. This Chrome extension enables users to efficiently save links for later reading, highlight important sections, and add sticky notes directly on webpages as reminders. Sharing annotated pages on social platforms like Twitter and Facebook is seamless, while cross-posting to Delicious makes content management even more comprehensive.

Accessible across multiple devices including iPhone, iPad, and Android, Diigo supports collaborative research by allowing users to create groups for pooling findings and resource sharing. The extension values user privacy, accessing page data only when you choose to save content. Recent updates include robust Twitter OAuth integration, a combined search feature for your Diigo library and Google, automated bookmarking information display, and improved annotation visibility. Whether for academic research, professional projects, or personal content curation, Diigo Web Collector streamlines your web information management in one powerful tool.

To save links or manage bookmarks, the collections or folders are absent.

Half the time, the annotations and highlights disappear. Even if you try reloading the page, they won't come back. I've tried turning off and on the extension, and it still doesn't work. This wasted so many hours of my time.
