The Bkmark browser extension puts your bookmark library one click — or one keystroke — away from any page you visit. Once installed, you can save pages, links, and highlighted text without ever leaving your current tab.
Choose your browser
Open the Chrome Web Store
Click 'Add to Chrome'
On the extension listing page, click the Add to Chrome button in the top-right corner.
Confirm the installation
A dialog appears listing the permissions the extension needs. Click Add extension to confirm. Chrome installs the extension and briefly shows a confirmation banner.
Pin the extension to your toolbar
Click the Extensions puzzle-piece icon (🧩) in the Chrome toolbar, find bkmark.it in the list, and click the pin icon next to it. The Bkmark icon will appear permanently in your toolbar so you can reach it from any tab.
Sign in
Click the Bkmark icon in the toolbar. If you are not yet logged in, the popup shows a Open bkmark.it button — click it to open your account in a new tab, sign in, then return to your original tab. The popup will refresh automatically and show the save form.
Open the Firefox Add-ons store
Click 'Add to Firefox'
Click the Add to Firefox button on the listing page.
Grant the permissions
Firefox shows a permissions dialog. Click Add to confirm. A confirmation notification appears in the top-right corner of the browser.
Pin the extension to your toolbar
Right-click the Bkmark icon in the Extensions area and choose Pin to Toolbar. This keeps the icon visible on every tab.If you do not see the icon at all, open the Extensions menu (the puzzle-piece icon) and look for bkmark.it in the list.
Sign in
Click the Bkmark icon. The popup shows an Open bkmark.it button if you are not signed in. Click it, sign in on the website, then return to your previous tab — the extension detects your session automatically.
The Firefox version requires Firefox 109 or later (released January 2023). Check Help → About Firefox to confirm your version.
Permissions explained
When you install the extension, your browser asks you to approve the following permissions. Here is what each one does and why Bkmark needs it.
| Permission | What it does |
|---|
Active Tab (activeTab) | Reads the URL and title of the page you are currently viewing so the popup can pre-fill the save form without requiring access to every tab you have open. |
Storage (storage) | Saves your extension settings locally in your browser so your preferences follow you across devices. |
Context Menus (contextMenus) | Adds the Save to bkmark.it and Save highlight to bkmark.it entries to the right-click menu, so you can save any page or link without opening the popup. |
Bookmarks (bookmarks) | Allows the extension to read your browser’s built-in bookmark folders so you can import them into Bkmark from the popup’s Import Bookmarks panel. The extension never deletes or modifies your existing browser bookmarks. |
Bkmark communicates only with https://api.bkmark.it. No browsing data is sent to any third-party service.
Already have a Bkmark account?
If you created your account on the web before installing the extension, just click the Bkmark toolbar icon and sign in through the link in the popup. Your existing bookmarks, tags, and groups are waiting for you.
If you are new to Bkmark, create a free account first, then follow the installation steps above.
