平井伸治 (ID: 0000004249435ad0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/17/2021 I chose "Add to folder in Instapaper". The "Move to Foler" screen appeared. However, the screen does not show all the folders. Why is this? If it is not possible to show all of them, I would like to be able to specify them, for example, by entering the folder name.

Derek Gurney (ID: 000000259a85f7be) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/09/2021 I use the "Right-click on a link to save to Instapaper" all the time, both so save later and to "Instaread"

Nick (ID: 0000005a581b9fb0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/19/2020 This extension simply doesn't work, button is inactive and options don't open. Can't make it work to open a random page in Instapaper.
