Read Later

Save links and reading positions, grouped by domain.

Read Later is a temporary bookmark for the things you meant to finish. Right-click a page or a link, choose "Read Later", and it is saved to a queue grouped by domain. Click it again later and the browser tries to scroll back to the line you stopped on — not the top of the page. WHAT IT DOES • Save the page you are on, or any link on it, from the right-click menu or your own keyboard shortcut. • Remembers your reading position. When you save a page, the extension records a short snippet of the text at the top of your screen and uses the browser's built-in text-fragment mechanism to find it again. Pages where this cannot work say so up front instead of quietly losing your place. • Reads like a queue, not an archive. Oldest first by default, so the list drains instead of only growing. Open an item and it moves to the archive, which is cleared when you close the browser. • Popup, side panel, or a full tab — the side panel stays open while you read. • Undo for saving and for deleting. Bulk select, copy, archive and restore. • English and 中文, switchable inside the extension. DUPLICATE LINKS Two links to the same article often differ only by a tracking parameter such as ?utm_source= or ?fbclid=. Read Later decides whether two URLs are the same page using uBlock Origin / AdGuard $removeparam filter syntax — the same rules those tools use, so anything you write here also works pasted into uBO. Nothing is enabled by default, on purpose: ?v= and ?id= are the real content on plenty of sites, and merging two different articles would lose one of them. You can subscribe to a rule list or write your own, and the settings page tests your rules against any URL and shows exactly which rule removed which parameter. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR COMPUTER There is no server, no account, no sync and no analytics. Your reading list is kept in the browser's own extension storage and is never uploaded. The extension makes exactly one kind of network request: downloading a filter list from an address you chose to subscribe to. Site icons come from the browser's local favicon cache, so even those cost no network request and leak nothing about what you saved. Storage is capped at 10 MB — a real limit, shown in the list footer, because unlimited storage is deliberately not requested. Your unread list can be exported to a JSON file and imported back.
