Diigo Web Collector

Diigo Web Collector is a lightweight Google Chrome extension built specifically for helping you bookmark your favorite webpages, insert annotations, and take screenshots.

It offers support for Chrome toolbar integration so you can easily access its functions. It is important to mention that you need to create a Diigo account before accessing the extension’s features.

Diigo Web Collector was developed with an overall simplicity in mind, so it runs quietly in the background without disturbing your online activity. You can enable or disable the tool via Chrome’s Extensions panel.

The add-on gives you the possibility to add a new bookmark by providing details about the name, entering a short description, selecting a preset category (Private, Read Later, Cache), and embedding tags. You may insert the bookmarks in user-defined lists and share them on custom groups.

What’s more, you can take screenshots by selecting the desired area of the web browser that you want to capture, and edit the snapshots by drawing rectangles and circles, attaching text messages, and inserting arrows.

Other notable characteristics worth mentioning are represented by the possibility to highlight different text areas from a webpage with preset colors, embed sticky notes, perform search operations for quickly identifying a bookmark in the list, mark webpages for reading them later, as well as switch to the Cached version of the current webpage.

When it comes to configuration settings, you are allowed to create Private bookmarks by default, automatically close a page when you have activated the “Read Later" option, as well as assign keyboard shortcuts for saving, annotating, and reading later the webpages.

During our testing we have noticed that Diigo Web Collector carries out a task very quickly and without errors. It doesn’t hamper Chrome functionality, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

All things considered, Diigo Web Collector offers a handy suite of tools for helping you manage your bookmarks efficiently.
