Unpacking the "Save to Collect" Chrome Extension: A Comprehensive Review

Works well, no issue. Make sure to follow David Schleindl advice on Sep 15, 2021 and you're good.

I loooove the concept, love the idea of having an easy to use mood board where I can save stuff from all around the web and more. I've even been recommending Collect to my colleagues and friends. However, there are way too many bugs, still. I can't save links by pasting them, the extension often doesn't work (don't know if it worsens on specific websites) and the preview pictures rarely show up, which isn't very nice when you'r hanging on the concept of an aggregating moodboard. I know you are probably still working on these, but I just thought I'd share my thoughts. TLDR: amazing concept, still some tweaks needed.

I wanted to love this, but when I right click on the pinned shortcut, it shows the option to login and when I click it, nothing happens. I reinstalled the extension as well as rebooted my computer and browser and still nothing. Strange how this feature is supposed to make it easy save images, but it doesn't. I think I'll have to stick to Pinterest since they have no issues with this feature for pinning. Sigh

Just reviewing to balance out the old 'not working'. Works fine on Windows and Mac chrome. Not sure if it's a browser issue.

I want to like this. But as many people say, after installing and clicking on the - rather hidden - login command, it does nothing. I'm trying this from Brave so maybe they have an incompatibility. But, sadly, it's not working. Perhaps they could rewrite the login stuff to be more obvious and use standard methods that work better across Chrome variants...

don't work at all

It doesn't work at all Hard to login too

Make sure you follow Juliana Sarmento's advice and you're good.

It stops working suddenly.

Make sure once you install to click on the "extensions" by the search tab and pin "collect" to your page. It works wonderfully!

Doesn't works

As others have mentioned, it's very difficult to figure out how to log in. After doing that I was able to successfully save three sites. All sites failed after that with an error message. I tried reinstalling the extension, restarting the browser, signing in and out but nothing worked. Shame as it's a nicely designed simple product, but entirely non-functional.
