The idea

A browser extension — Chrome first, then Firefox — that adds a "Save to Folio" button to any webpage. One click adds the URL as a source in your library, extracts metadata automatically, and syncs it to your account. If the page has a DOI or structured citation data, Folio picks that up too.

Why it matters

You find sources while browsing. Google Scholar, journal websites, preprint servers, course reading lists — the discovery happens in the browser, not in Folio. The current workflow is: copy the URL, switch to Folio, paste, wait for extraction. The extension removes the context switch entirely. One click, and you're back to reading.

Where we are

On the roadmap. This will likely ship after the mobile app, since the extension and the mobile app both depend on a solid source-syncing layer. Chrome first, Firefox to follow.

Upvote this if it's on your wishlist — it helps us prioritise.
