Ran Xin (ID: 00000072634d43eb) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/14/2022 This is a great clipper to replace the default one, like stew said the search is a bit broken atm. Couple things on current build: If you need to delete a saved link or file, you have to go to the webapp at slate.host, not on new tab or the jumper. Syncing bookmarks with chrome only apply to new bookmarks, not those already saved in chrome The jumper needs to be refreshed by refreshing the chrome window to see changes that u made to a tag/file (add/remove a tag)

Stew Stryker (ID: 000000d57f8a827e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/22/2022 If the point is to let you capture pages and files, then search for them later, then the Slate app is a huge failure. This extension lets you capture pages, sort of. But the Search feature never finds the original objects, whether you search for them by their title or by contents. It's a complete waste of time.
