About this extension

This is basically Pocket in Sidebar with some improvements. It removes some clutter from the reading list and makes it more compact, so you can see more items at a time. It also removes Pocket’s redirects and makes links open in new tabs instead of in the sidebar.

More compact reading list
No more annoying pills (“best of” etc.)
No more tracking redirects, only direct links
No more useless truncatation of domain/site title

Ideally I would like to have dedicated buttons for archive and delete. Maybe I’ll get to that later.

I’m open to suggestions.

Developer comments

Sorry this asks for a permission. It’s only used to restyle the reading list, nothing phoney. You can check the source code if you like. It’s very short.

The changes to Pocket also affect the normal website at getpocket.com. I’m not sure how to fix that but tbh it’s an improvement, so I don’t really care. If you’re super into Pocket’s whitespace orgy, don’t install this.

If you know how to detect when Firefox adds or removes a link through the built-in Pocket button, so I can refresh the list, please get in touch :D
