Save to Pocket (mini) Extension

I think Pocket is great, but I don't like how their Chrome extension requires so many permissions. (It even makes use of those permissions to e.g. modify the Hacker News page. I appreciate this can be turned off via their settings but I'd prefer it didn't even have the capability.)

This extension is the minimal code to auth into Pocket and save URLs into it.

Steven Charles (ID: 0000008b4c5d31d5) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/23/2023 There's no Save to Pocket icon in my toolbar anywhere, so there's no way for this to work.

Florian Petermann (ID: 000000f93559649f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/09/2021 Excellent! Small, quick and easy. The official Pocket extension had caused severe CPU spikes on my laptop and it took me weeks to find out what was causing it. I didn't need half the features it had anyway. This extension here gives me all I need - add a new item, done. No bloat. Thank you!
