Browser Extension

The browser extension is the fastest way to feed LinkVolv. One click (or one shortcut) saves the current tab — title, URL, content, and a fresh AI summary — without ever leaving the page you were on.

Install

The extension is built for Chromium-based browsers: Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Arc. A Firefox build is on the roadmap.

• Visit the LinkVolv listing on the Chrome Web Store and click Add to Chrome.
• Sign in with the same Google account you used on the dashboard. Your library syncs immediately.
• Pin the extension to your toolbar for one-click saving.

Permissions

The extension requests the minimum needed to do its job:

• Active tab — to read the URL and title of the page you are saving.
• Storage — to cache your library locally for fast access.
• Tabs — to save and restore Sessions across windows.

Using the extension

Keyboard shortcuts

• Save current tab — ⌘ Shift K / Ctrl Shift K
• Save Session (all tabs in window) — ⌘ Shift L / Ctrl Shift L
• Open dashboard — ⌘ Shift O

Shortcuts are configurable from chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

Right-click menu

Any link on a page can be saved without visiting it: right-click the link and choose Save to LinkVolv. Useful when triaging a long list — Hacker News, a newsletter, anything.

Troubleshooting

• Saves are not appearing. Check that you are signed into the same Google account in both the extension and the dashboard.
• Summary is empty. The page may be behind a login or paywall. Use a Pro plan to retry against the rendered content, or save the rendered HTML manually.
• Keyboard shortcut not firing. Another extension may have claimed it. Reassign at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
