M L (ID: 000000d7e14b6afb) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/17/2023 The extension worked well at first but now it no longer add an article or tag to my library. Mediocre at best.

icon

Sergey (ID: 0000007a6b82c627) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/09/2022 Yet another alternative to Pocket, Instapaper, you name it. Quite Ok in terms of UX just a bit slow, at least the main library page. And wha's worst, with an unknown future - the market is very competitive, so I'm can't be sure this ext will be with us for a while

Andraž Rihtar (ID: 000000d8c7e96251) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/24/2022 Half of the time it does not open the modal window to input tags and it takes a while when it does decide to open it. Mediocre at best, there's snappier apps out there.

Susan Cutler (ID: 000000d969cd3782) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/02/2021 I have been sing The Library now for awhile, and do find it helpful. If I find something I want to read and or keep for later reviewing I can do so with the Library. Easy to use and it is definitely helpful. 4 stars because it opens up automatically on my browser.

Raven Brown (ID: 000000cba754ebaf) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/19/2021 Amazingly easy to use...ESPECIALLY if your bookmarks folders are a hot mess.
