Sean Hammond (ID: 0000004f10f5334a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/17/2021 Single-click toolbar icon that opens the save-bookmark popup window (no tag cloud). Nice looking monochrome icon. If you select some text in the web page first it auto-fills it in the bookmark description. Doesn't need your Pinboard API key. Perfect
