Instead of bookmarking web pages or emailing yourself links to read later, there’s a much easier and more efficient way to save links and share them. WIth the Inbox by Gmail Chrome extension, you can do it all with one click.

  • Head to the Chrome Web Store and search for Inbox by Gmail. Click + Add to Chrome to install it.
  • Once it’s completed, look up on your toolbar, and you should see the Inbox by Gmail icon. As you’ll see, this icon will allow us to quickly save web content for later.

  • If you come across a story you find really interesting and want to read it later, click on the Inbox icon > Save to Inbox.

  • Because of the bundling feature of Inbox by Gmail, it will group any stories that you save together in this bundle until you have time to review them later. Once you’ve read them over, just hit the check mark to mark them as done and clear them from your inbox.
