Link Adder

How Link Adder works

3 minutes

Link Adder keeps the pages you want to come back to. You save them from a button in your browser, and they wait for you in a list.

Lists hold links

A list is a shelf. You might keep one called Reading, another called Work, another for a project that ends in a month. Each list gets a color, and that color follows it everywhere: on this site, in the browser button, and on your start page.

Make one with New list on your lists page.

The browser button saves the page you are on

Install the extension, then click its icon on any page worth keeping. It shows a button per list. Click a list, and the page lands there with its title and icon already filled in.

You can also right-click anywhere on a page, or right-click a link without opening it, and choose Add to Link Adder.

Your new tab becomes your links

The extension replaces the new tab page with your lists, laid out as tiles. Every list is a group, every link a tile, and one search runs across all of them at once. Press / to jump into that search.

It draws from a copy kept on your machine, so it opens instantly and still works when you are offline.

There is no password to remember

Link Adder recognises you by the Google account your browser is signed into. That is why the extension never asks you to log in, and why your lists appear on any machine where that browser profile is signed in.

If the extension says it does not know you, check which account the browser itself is signed into. That is the one that counts, not the one you used on this site.

Sharing a list

Open a list, click the pencil, and choose Share this list. Give the address of the person you want to read it. They see the list; they cannot change it.
