Pocket for Vivaldi

@88-0 said in Pocket for Vivaldi:
Hey @Catweazle, thanks. I didn't know about Wallabag. Cool.
Still, I want to stick with Pocket due to my huge cache of research articles. Downloading Pocket (again) from Google merely offers to uninstall it from Chome as I also run Chrome browser and of course Google thinks Vivaldi is Chrome. Any work arounds?Google knows that it is not Chrome, but like any browser based on Chromium, Vivaldi can also use the Chrome Store extensions.
-
@Catweazle Thanks. Do you happen to know how to get Vivaldi to run with Pocket? I want to migrate back to Vivaldi from FireFox, but cannot until Pocket is once again viable here.

@88-0 I don't think adding Pocket as a feature is very high up on the devs list. There is a Pocket extension available. Try here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/pocket?hl=en-US A handy bookmark for the Chrome Web Store is not a bad idea.

In the Chromestore also exist Wallabag. It's the same as Pocket, but while Pocket is Proprietary, Wallabag is OpenSource and completely free
Website https://wallabag.org/en
Github https://github.com/wallabag/wallabagger
Windows, Android, iOS
Chrome, Firefox, Opera
PocketBook, Kobo, KindleYou can import from Pocket
Import....? Oh I missed that previously. By the way, while the opensource may be free, for those of us who do not want to set it up and run it on our own server, it is available from wallabag.it/en but that comes (natch) at the cost of 25โฌ/year.
One of the very nice things about Wallabag.it versus Pocket is that Wallabag.it states:
"Because your data belongs to you, we don't want to store them on US servers. That's why we only chose European partners, like Online (french web hoster), MailJet (french emailing service) or PayPlug (french payment solution)."Yes. wise. Especially as the U.S. slips more and more towards the old Soviet Union model

I just downed wallabag.it/en and did their setup key (generated from Pocket) plugged it into Wallabag and clicked "Connect to Pocket and Import Data". NOPE.
Vivaldi refuses to actuate that button. So...after moving it all to Chrome and doing the same, Wallabag says "Failed to import"
Aside from Wallabag's admirable non-U.S. policy, I need the Pocket service which is the height of simplicity and it works.
Please allow users who wish it, to install and run Pocket as an add-on. That decision should really be the user's choice. At least if freedom is a value. No?
-
Ha, ha, ha....now I'm thoroughly confused. In the process of adding "Wallabag.it" to Vivaldi, Pocket was also added....and works like it used to.
No complaints there. But I remain confused. I thought Vivaldi engineers blocked Pocket from being added.

I guess this "pocket" option would work like "watch later" on YouTube. This would be nice... For example sometimes I have a bunch of tabs opened with videos and stuff that I want to see later in the day but I have to create a session to save all of that.
Instead, a "pocket" (watch later) would be great for this little kind of dumb issue.

Before keeping a page into a Pocket-like solution, a lot of pages could be quickly read to finally exclude them since they would appear as no as interesting as thought : please look this suggestion then : Using link preview by a popup windows, calls with Rocker gestures and controlled with mouse gestures

IF Vivaldi keeps Manifest v2 capabilities (and as far as I know it will) and the author won't give up on the project porting to Chromium format In My Pocket will work sooner or later, it is still not able to replace good old Firefox extension and most likely won't get offline mode ever (due to API limitations if nothing else) but I really don't think we can count on native support of Mozilla owned service (though we may get Vivaldi owned, branded or hosted one)
technically it would be enough to use bookmarking mechanism for that as long as it gets dedicated button to quickly throw things into and mobile (not) Vivaldi gets to usable state, without that we need browser independent solution (and Pocket has an app that you can use on mobile to both save and read using any browser)

Vivaldi now has a Reading List feature, available as a pop up button on a toolbar and a panel on desktop + on Android. Saved pages can be synced across devices.
