If you are like most users, you are inundated with web content every day. You scroll through countless videos and articles on Facebook, news sites, blogs, twitter, and more. However, you probably find that on there is too much information to get through in one sitting. One solution for quickly and easily saving content to read later is using Pocket, a free app and browser extension. Once you have a Pocket set up, you can save articles, videos, and images to your Pocket from anywhere on the web. The content you save can be viewed on any device and viewed offline using the Pocket app.

3.Get the web extension. If you are using a browser that allows web extensions (such as Chrome or Firefox), download the web extension. Here is the official links for Pocket on Chrome and Firefox.
