13Installing the Firefox extension is easy:
14
15- Head over to https://github.com/forlater-email/save-forlater/releases/
16- Click the `save-forlater-1.0-an+fx.xpi` file. Firefox will
17  automatically begin installing it.
18
19## chrome(ium)
20
21This is a little more involved and is far from user-friendly. Thanks,
22Google.

31## usage
32
33Both extensions have a browser action (a button on your toolbar), that
34on clicking, will open your default mail client with the current tab's
35URL in the body, addressed to `save@forlater.email`. The subject is left
36blank (we don't need it).

40That's us in the middle!
41
42Additionally, both extensions also have a context menu (right click on
43any page) option. Does the same thing as the browser action button.
