Pocket

What started out in life as a service appropriately-named Read It Later is now Pocket, a useful cloud-based service that allows you to save Internet content (literally, it can save almost anything) from the Internet and read or watch it later.

Considering that it comes with cross-browser extensions and companion apps for both Android and iOS, there's no need to point out just how helpful having Pocket close by can really be.

Before we continue, you should know that the official Opera extension is dubbed Pocket, just like the Firefox version (which is now integrated by default), while Save to Pocket is the name for the Chrome extension.

As with all Opera extensions, a quick visit to its official Opera add-ons webpage and a click on the "Add to Opera" button are all but enough for deploying this lightweight extension. Of course, before anything, you are required to log in using your official Pocket or Google credentials.

Its basic principle is nothing less than straightforward: click the extension's icon, and the webpage you are currently visiting is swiftly saved. Later, when you're not working or doing something important, you can access all this content directly from your mobile device or from the Pocket web app, it's as simple as that.

Also noteworthy is the fact that Pocket slightly improves the reading experience by polishing the formats for most articles. You are provided with a quick way to mark links and even organize by adding them to Favorites or with the help of hashtags.

To sum it all up, while not exactly revolutionary, Pocket is without a doubt one of the best extensions that you can have around. If used properly, it can really help you improve productivity by helping you effortlessly save content and, thanks to its broad platform support, also review it later just as easily.
