Browser extension

Save pages to your pod directly from your browser

The mnera.io browser extension lets you save the current page to your Solid pod without opening the full app. It also gives you a quick search over all your bookmarks.

Installation

The extension is currently in development and will be available in the Chrome Web Store. Until then, you can load it as an unpacked extension for testing.

Note: Only Chrome and Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Arc) are supported in the initial release. Firefox support is planned.

What it does

  • Auto-filled save form. When you click the extension icon, the current page's URL, title, and description (from meta tags) are pre-filled.
  • Topic assignment. Select one or more topics from your existing topic list before saving.
  • Quick search. Switch to the Search tab to search all your bookmarks and open them in a new tab.
  • Stays signed in. The extension keeps a session in the browser. You only need to sign in once per browser profile.

Sign in

  1. Click the mnera.io icon in the toolbar
  2. Enter your Solid identity provider URL (e.g. https://solidcommunity.net)
  3. Click Continue with Solid — a sign-in window opens
  4. Approve access in the window; it closes automatically when done

Saving a page

  1. Navigate to the page you want to save
  2. Click the mnera.io extension icon
  3. Review the auto-filled title and description — edit if needed
  4. Choose topics (optional)
  5. Click Save bookmark
Tip: You can edit the title and description before saving. The extension reads og:title, og:description, and twitter:description meta tags to fill in the form.

Security

The extension stores your session tokens in chrome.storage.local, which is sandboxed to the extension and not accessible by web pages. It uses DPoP (Demonstration of Proof of Possession) — the same token binding standard as the main app — so tokens cannot be replayed by a third party.
