What people are saying:

“Emailing a link now is the most frustrating thing in the world”

“I never knew I needed this app, until I had it. Now I can’t live without it.”

“Super intuitive.”

“I wish I thought of this. I can’t believe it hasn’t existed before.”

The Point Chrome extension requests a number of Google Chrome permissions in order to function as the quickest way to send a link from any webpage and have an interactive chat alongside any website content. Below we have detailed how we use each of these permissions. You can also find this information in our privacy policy (https://www.getpoint.co/legal).

Point uses the "All URLS" permission so that it can run the app on any page. This allows you to quickly and easily send a Point from any page and open Point chats alongside the page. Point does not use this to record your browsing history. It only saves the websites you send a Point chat from.
Point uses the "Web Request" and "Web Request Blocking" permission only to intercept web requests to Point's website and servers so that it can securely send and receive your authentication info during login. It does not use this permission to record or manipulate your web browsing activity.

I wish a @point has a search function

CC Lee, 2021-02-01

I added it to Chrome and then I removed it. Cute little extension, but won't be useful in the end for these two reasons: 1) you cannot delete "points", so if you have, say, 100 points you will have to keep scrolling down to get to the older ones (the newer points are always at the top) 2) you can only view your "points" in the SMALL extension window; I wish there was a way to view them in the browser. If the developers fix these things (if possible), I would give it another try.
