Faros

Stay on top of your reading - bookmark highlights

When you want to save something you find online, you have a few options: keeping the tab open, bookmarks, copying the url to notion/obsidian etc. Faros is an extension designed to make revisiting the easiest possible. You save both the URL and a highlighted snippet - to act as a tagline - from the page. So you can: ➣ remember better what the page is about ➣ search by text ➣ get back to exactly where you were in text - no need to scroll They're also presented as a scrollable feed with most recent saves first - so you can: ➣ remind yourself what you saved recently ➣ organize your saves with tags later Moreover, you can copy a link to your highlight and share it, or paste into Notion, Obsidian, etc. I've been using it since February and really liked it, so I hope you'll like it too. ℹ️ About your data: When installing you can read: "it can read and change all your data on all websites" The only information that ever gets uploaded (when signed in) when you use it to save: ➣ Open page address ➣ Saved highlight/quote - what's visible in the sidebar ➣ Timestamp ➣ Debug info e.g. errors The extension also keeps track the currently open tab for each window - to update the sidebar as you navigate - but doesn't save or upload that data.
