Samuele gg (ID: 000000b00bfe818f) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/21/2023 Communication problems between the extension and the login. Logged into the web app, unable to add notes from Chrome extension: unable to remove notes from collection (status 400) and the web app says it doesn't detect the extension installed, but it is installed instead.

scott (ID: 000000c1b833d098) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/20/2020 It's liberating not having to bookmark links or worry about finding them again in the future. Histre has quickly become my favorite tool for staying organized in the browser. The HN integration is a killer feature. Privacy policy is solid and it supports deleting data permanently.
