Start spending more time reading your Pocket list than adding things to it with Batch Basket

Now you can save hundreds of tabs and links in just 3 steps:
1) Select what you want to save: Highlight the tabs or text containing the links you want to save.
2) Click the extension button in the toolbar
3) Hit the save button...
And BatchBasket will save to Pocket all those links for you. Just another click and you can close all those tabs you saved for later. How cool is that?

Also:
**Paste a list of URLs to the extension and save them.
**See urls and choose which to save and which to skip.
**Batch-add any tags you want, and modify each entry individually.
**If you use the awesome Great Suspender, you can save suspended tabs directly to Pocket with no need for re-animation.
**Keep track of all the time BatchBasket will save for you in a statistics section. Check it every once in a while to feel good about how smart you are.

Chris “Kulrak” Chastain (ID: 000000a0ba0a6ee3) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/26/2020 It's great, saves me a bunch of time, hasn't failed me yet! One thing though, is it possible to add a feature to ignore pinned tabs or maybe a site blacklist so I can have it ignore automatically the sites I don't need saved?
