Linkora Browser Extension

Browser extension that adds "Share from other app" functionality to web browsers. Integrates with your Linkora Sync-Server to save and sync web page links with metadata.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Ensure your Linkora Sync-Server is running and accessible.

Installation

The extension is not yet available on official web stores. Manual installation is required:

1. Download: Get the latest release from the Linkora Browser Extension Releases page

2. Extract: Unzip the downloaded file to a dedicated folder

3. Load Extension:

   Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Brave, Edge):

   • Navigate to chrome://extensions (or brave://extensions, edge://extensions)
   • Enable "Developer mode"
   • Click "Load unpacked" and select the extracted folder

   Firefox:

   • Go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
   • Click "Load Temporary Add-on..." and select manifest.json from the extracted folder
   • Note: Firefox requires reloading the extension after each browser restart

Configuration

After installation:

1. Click the Linkora icon in your browser toolbar
2. Enter your Linkora Sync-Server URL (e.g., https://YOUR_SERVER_IP:PORT)
3. Provide the serverAuthToken configured on your Sync-Server

HTTPS Certificate Setup (Important)

For HTTPS functionality, proper certificate configuration is required:

Chromium-based Browsers: Import the certificate (.pem file) generated by your Sync-Server into your browser's trusted root certification authorities.

Firefox: Go to about:preferences#privacy → "View Certificates" → "Servers" and add your server URL with port.

Compatibility

Server Requirements

Requires a running Linkora Sync-Server instance. The server provides the UI components and handles synchronization logic.

Future Update: Direct communication with the Linkora desktop app will be supported in an upcoming release.

Browser Support

Tested: Firefox and Brave

Known Issues: Zen browser (Firefox-based) experiences crashes during extension loading.

Features

Web Content Capture: Saves web page metadata (URL, title, image) with optional notes into chosen folders. Replicates the mobile app's "Share from other app" workflow for desktop browsers.

Sync-Server Integration: Connects to your self-hosted Linkora Sync-Server for synchronization across devices.

Hybrid Architecture: Server-rendered UI with client-side browser operations.

Screenshots

Clicking on the folder name (in the last image) will save the link into that folder.
