Alec Kinnear (ID: 000000bf0357ece0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/06/2016 Ugly icon here in the extension store (yes appearances matter Mark). Only Pinboard utility which really and truly works every time and doesn't (seem) to have huge privacy issues. Undecided if I wouldn't want an icon in the bookmark bar instead. Right click at least keeps the bookmark bar a little cleaner. Plus, after selecting text, right click is faster (though requiring a fair bit of dexterity to get right every time). This is the one true pinboard extension to install though.

Aleksei Zhukov (ID: 000000c93ae6278d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/07/2011 Среди всех расширений для добавления закладок на Pinboard, это мне показалось наиболее удобным. Выделил текст, выбрал пункт контекстного меню, добавил теги, все. Никакой другой функциональности не содержит — выполняет одну задачу и делает это хорошо. Массового добавления (как, например, «save tab set»), впрочем, нет, но лично мне оно не нужно.
