Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori/issues/180

The last issue I see about finding the bookmarklet is #100 . Since then the UI has changed and the about screen is no longer shown. Where is the bookmarklet now or has it been superseded by the chrome extension?

Yeah, it has been dropped in favor of web extension. Unfortunately, for now it only tested in Firefox, so I'm not sure it will works in Chrome.

The extension does not seem to work in chrome, and there is an outstanding issue in the extension repository to add chrome support.

Do you have a work around for anyone on chrome? Can you copy and paste an example bookmarklet here?

Hm, so it looks like you can install the extracted zip in developer mode in chrome, but you'll always get warnings:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24577024/install-chrome-extension-not-in-the-store

Is that what you're doing @8bitgentleman?

I'm not sure why all of the complications of an extension is needed. It'd be nice to have a bookmarklet fallback that simply passes in the URL and page title to the add link dialog. I haven't looked too much through the code, but it looks like that's not possible.

I could write a bookmarklet to make the POST call, but I'd run into issues with CORs.

@timshannon same here, installing the extension in dev mode, no warnings in MacOSX.

@RadhiFadlillah is there an official extension on the chrome store ? if needed, I have paid the fee to get an account myself, I could host it.

Yup, I"m in developer mode and don't get the warning you mention. I think the benefit of the extension is being able to add tags directly to the bookmark when it's saved

@RadhiFadlillah I didn't realize the bookmarklet support had been dropped. Since extensions aren't supported on mobile browsers, there is now no mobile support for automated bookmarking.

Do bookmarklets even work on mobile?

@8bitgentleman Yes, but I've only tested on iOS Safari and Firefox.
