Matt (ID: 00000056cdaba4ab) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/23/2017 I tried every single pinboard extension. This is the best one by far. It's simple, functional and (!) not buggy as far as I can see. I have been using it for half a year now. With other pinboard extensions I always had problems (like no live suggestions for tags).
