Description from store
Instapaper is a simple tool for saving web pages to read later on your iPhone, iPad, Android, computer, or Kindle.
This browser extension may be used in place of the bookmarklet to save articles directly into your Instapaper queue.
It works by saving the current tab to your Instapaper account . Users who aren't logged in will be taken to a login or signup page, after completing the process they will be redirected back to the original page with the original page saved in their queue.

- (2025-06-20) Chris Christodoulou: I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but right-clicking and selecting "Instapaper" takes me to the extension's store page. The expected behaviour would have been to take me to Instaparer's user page so I can read my saved pages...
- (2025-06-18) Nona Lee: Not working
- (2025-06-02) Denitsa Hristova: Moving from Pocket. I'm still testing it out. Works fine for my needs and I like that there is a special 'Notes' section where you can view all your highlights, etc. but I find it annoying that clicking the extension takes you to the Instapaper Chrome extension page, instead of Instapaper itself.
- (2025-05-24) HSH: Works all right. I tested it by saving articles on my PC using this extension in Vivaldi browser, opened the app on my Android phone to let the articles sync, but didn't open the articles yet. Then I put on airplane mode and was able to open the articles so the offline functionality is working.
- (2025-05-23) Jeroen Ritmeijer: As Pocket has gone the way of the Dodo, I am trying Instapaper as an alternative. Not as slick, but I hope it will do. The Chrome extension doesn't appear to test if you are logged in to Instapaper so it just shows 'Saving' forever. Apparently you need to manually go to the Instapaper site to login and then the extension works. There is much room for improvement here. Hopefully a new influx of users will make them implement some easy fixes.
- (2025-04-29) Aldo Rodriguez: YouTube is no longer allowing the Chrome extension to display in Google Chrome. This started happening today. All other websites your fine but as soon as I get into YouTube the extension auto hides from the pinned extensions. I tried right clicking on an empty space to save from there but it does not store the URL.
- (2025-04-05) Workspace: Highlighting doesn't work. It worked one time and never saw the popup again. Tried different browsers, with no other extensions installed and different pc's. same outcome
- (2025-03-29) Jared R: Migrated from Omnivore. Am satisfied

- (2024-11-12) Christopher D: The Chrome Extension does what it's supposed to, which is save articles to Instapaper.
- (2024-05-21) Johannes Fischer: Still my favorite article saving and reading app -- kinda remarkable it's lasted this long!
- (2024-05-01) Daniel Aleksandersen: Save-animation is ugly and doesn’t prevent you from saving duplicates, but it’s otherwise good.
- (2024-03-28) panda-34: It doesn't do what it claims to do: enable you to read pages offline, there's no such function.
- (2024-03-07) Joe: Just downloaded. Seems good so far. Regarding people saying that nothing happens when they click the button. I observed that happening but it is fixed if you refresh the page. My guess is that it is saving the last site that was loaded instead of the site you are actively looking at. This is an issue when you have many tabs open and are going back through them and saving them to instapaper. This bug isn't a deal breaker but it would be nice if it was fixed.
- (2024-02-24) old H: It works for me.
- (2024-02-20) Martin Di Diego: Does nothing when clicked even though I'm signed into instapaper.com.
- (2024-02-06) Tyler Laprade: It does not do anything. I click it and it does not save to my account.

- (2023-11-02) Vaan Dieu: 1. Slow sync. 2. Unable to save image of some websites, like: https://www.tradingwithrayner.com/. 3. Unable to remember Font changes.
- (2023-08-08) Aaron Bach: Extension does not work on any Chrome browser currently. I've tried every one, clearing all cookies and cache on every single browser. "Save failed" every single time. Instapaper support claims "we cannot replicate this issue" and then goes silent. I.e. support for the issue, even as a paid customer does not exist.
