A browser extension (also known as "plugin" or "addon") is a light-weight software that is installed in browsers to extend their functionality beyond what the browser offers. CarryLinks has a robust browser extension that allows users to access and manage their bookmarks on all browsers without the need of visiting the CarryLinks website or app. In addition, it offers many useful functions beyond what browsers do.

CarryLinks aims to provide compatibility with all major web browsers, ensuring a broader user base can access its features and functions. So, the CarryLinks extension is supported by popular browsers, such as:

1. Chrome
2. Firefox
3. Edge
4. Opera
5. Safari
6. And, many more

The CarryLinks extension requires specific permissions to function correctly and provide its core features. These permissions include user authentication (so that you can log in to your account), bookmarks (so that you can import existing bookmarks into CarryLinks), and history (so that you can import links from the browser's history and clear the history). The permissions that CarryLinks gets from the browser are necessary to allow the extension to interact with your browser in order to manage your bookmarks, save and organize links, display notifications, and access browsing history to enhance your browsing experience and CarryLinks functionality.

To install the CarryLinks extension, follow these general steps:

1. Visit the extension page and click the "Download" button.
2. This will take you to the appropriate page for your browser to install the extension.
3. Simply, follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.

Whenever we release an updated version of the extension, the new version number will appear on the extension page. To check which version you have installed:

1. Click the avatar image in the extension.
2. Select Settings to view the version number.

If your version is older than the latest release, you can either wait for your browser to update it automatically or update it manually. Most browsers update extensions automatically with no user interaction. For Safari, make sure you have enabled Settings > App Store > App Updates.

To update the extension manually with one click, follow the instructions below.

• Safari (macOS, iOS, iPadOS): Update the extension directly through the App Store.
• Use the Manage Extensions section in your browser. Here's how to access it in major browsers:
  • Chrome: Type chrome://extensions in the address bar, and click Update.
  • Edge: Type edge://extensions in the address bar, and click Update.
  • Brave: Type brave://extensions in the address bar, and click Update.
  • Vivaldi: Type vivaldi:extensions in the address bar, and click Update.
  • Opera: Type opera://extensions in the address bar, and click Updates.
  • Firefox: Type about:addons in the address bar, click the gear icon , and click Check for Updates.

When you click on the avatar image in the top navigation bar of the extension, you will see a dropdown menu with the "Refresh" option. This option applies the settings updates you have made in the website/app to the extension. For example, if you changed whether to enable or disable duplicate links in the website/app, you will need to "refresh" the extension to make sure those changes reflected in the extension as well.

To delete the extension, go to the browser's "Extension" option and click the "Remove" button.
