Adding the Wakelet extension to your browser

I just finished explaining how easy it is to curate and then share online resources within Wakelet. The way I do this is to search for the resources I want and then use the Wakelet extension I have added to my browser (Chrome) to either just add the site to Wakelet or to an existing collection I have been working on within Wakelet.

The extensions for Chrome, Safari, and Firefox as well as the iOS and Android apps can be downloaded from Wakelet.

Adding an extension may be a skill you have not experienced, so I thought I would take the time to explain the process. What follows is the procedure for Chrome.  

The easiest way to find Chrome extensions is to go to the Chrome store and search. If you do this using the Chrome browser, the extension you download will automatically be added. If the extension is active, you should see an icon in the browser icon bar. This is the icon you select to save a resource to Wakelet.

If you so not see this icon, you will to need to view the Chrome tools that have been added to your browser. The extension may need to be activated or it may not have actually been added.

In the upper right-hand corner of your browser window, you should see three dots arranged vertically. If you click on these dots, you should encounter a drop-down menu that looks like this. You want to select More Tools. You should see a second dialog box and find Extensions listed among the options. 

The extension that have been added to the browser should be listed. You may need to move the slider that appears in the lower, right-hand corner of the extension you are checking on to activate it.
