You'll be notified that the page has been saved, and from here, you can add Tags, Undo Save, view your List, and access the Extension’s settings.
In addition to saving links that you currently have open in your browser, it's also possible to save a link that you see on a web page without opening it first. You can save links within a web page by right-clicking on them and selecting Save to Pocket.
The Pocket save confirmation appears after you successfully save an item to your List.
After saving, you can take various actions on the item that was just saved:
Adding Tags
To add Tags, type tag names into the text box and press Enter. Your tag will be saved automatically. You can also keep typing to add additional tags. Hit Enter again to dismiss the popup.

Common Questions
I use a Chromium-based browser. Can I install Save to Pocket to save articles to my list?
Yes! Chromium browsers (such as Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi) can run Chrome extensions, so Save to Pocket and most other Chrome extensions should be compatible.
What Permissions are required for the Chrome extension and why?
When installing the Pocket Chrome Extension, you will be presented with a message asking you to allow a permission. Pocket requires the "Read and change all your data on all websites" permission to save to Pocket.
In order to save pages, Pocket must access the tab you have open so that it can retrieve the URL of the page you want to save when clicked. We do not access, store, or transmit anything from your browsing history, aside from the currently open page’s URL after clicking the Pocket button.
We also require this permission in order to respond to keyboard shortcuts and display the “Page Saved!” notification over the web page. Pocket remains inactive while you are browsing, and only requests the current page’s URL when clicked. Afterwards, Pocket returns to being inactive.
Pocket values your privacy. Please visit the Pocket Privacy Policy page to review our Privacy Policy.
