## Description

Read Later is a lightweight tab-saving extension for people who want to keep useful pages without leaving dozens of tabs open.

Save the current tab with a shortcut, find saved pages with fast fuzzy search, and reopen links when you are ready to read. You can organize related pages into groups, open an entire group at once, and keep your reading list easy to manage from a simple popup interface.
