- Rated 1 out of 5by L27, 3 days agoIt is not working as it should. I need to re-download "saved" articles with the android instapaper app. Only then can I open them in browser or download to Kobo reader. Without pull-down refresh in android app i have only kind of links or thumbnails saved via browser extension. Permissions required are also ridiculous. I was forced to use it by Kobo reader manufacturer (do not recommend either) and Mozilla (discontinuation of Pocket tool which had worked flawlessly). What a world! Perfect tool replaced by god-knows-what
- Rated 1 out of 5by dev421, 3 days agoThe permissions required by this add-on are ridiculous. "Access your data for all websites"!? You only need the current tab URL! (permissions: ["tabs"]). I'm saving articles using the bookmarklet for now, but you say you're phasing them out. As long as the permissions here are so broad, I hope you never phase out the bookmarklet.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Jorge Gómez Jiménez, 2 months agoThe Instapaper website is, let's say, nice and practical, although the only reason most of us are using it is because Pocket is closing down.
That said, it's extremely annoying that the Instapaper extension is inefficient in *ITS ONLY MISSION*: sending a link to the Instapaper website dashboard. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't; sometimes it displays the message “Saved,” other times it doesn't. It's an absurd game of Russian roulette that is making me consider saving everything to my bookmarks like we did twenty-five years ago. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19109185, 2 months ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Stefan, 6 months agoWhile it's mostly good, it:
- breaks the ctrl+shift+i shortcut (open dev tools) quite frequently, even if you've disabled it in the addon's config. This is incredibly annoying, and you have to disable and re-enable the addon to fix it.
- randomly stops working on long-running webpages, eg your email client, eg the thing you're going to want to push lots of articles from.
2 stars may seem harsh, because when it works it works, but the entire goal is "send a URL to an API", so I think the bar could be set a little higher than "works occasionally" - Rated 5 out of 5by Behsah, a year ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Sebi, a year agoWorks for sites with (paid) paywall articles (most of these "read later" extensions do not), simple and efficient. Best!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17629306, 2 years agoBetter then Pocket
After the August 2023 migration of Pocket to Mozilla, I cannot login to my Pocket app in mobile, no matter how hard I try and how many workaround I do. Moved to Instapaper all of my saves for more than a decade. Also, Mozilla don't reply to help requests, so don't bother. Just use Instapaper. - Rated 5 out of 5by ddd, 2 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15142020, 2 years agoIt used to save articles instantly, but now it's taking 4-5 seconds of "Saving..." before it shows "Saved."
- Rated 5 out of 5by JW, 2 years agoProbably the 2nd best extension behind uBlock Origin. So useful. Crazy there aren't more users.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Jan Urbaś, 3 years agoVery useful extension that allows me to save articles that I would want to read later. The android application allows me to store and fast read while understanding them.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Rasmus, 3 years agoDoesn't need to be in context menu. Please add option to remove. Otherwise great.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Ignacio Víctor Russo, 4 years agoHola. Necesito el Resaltado en el AddOn o en botón derecho. Gracias
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13611983, 4 years agoPlease add an option to remove this from the right-click context menu. I like my context menu clean, and most add-ons provide the option to disable this. Instapaper is my last holdout!
