Browser extension

The Broadsheet Chrome extension is the fastest way to save articles. One click — or one keyboard shortcut — and the page you're reading is in your library.

Install​

Get it from the Chrome Web Store. Works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, and other Chromium-based browsers.

After installing, pin the Broadsheet icon to your toolbar so it's one click away.

Sign in​

Open the extension popup and sign in. The extension uses the same account as the web app — one sign-in gets you both.

Save the current tab​

  • Click the Broadsheet icon in your toolbar, or
  • Press ⌘⇧S on macOS / Ctrl+Shift+S on Windows/Linux.

You'll see a confirmation that the article saved. Open the web app any time to read it.

Customising the shortcut​

If ⌘⇧S / Ctrl+Shift+S conflicts with another extension, rebind it:

  1. Open chrome://extensions/shortcuts in Chrome.
  2. Find Broadsheet and set a new shortcut.

Troubleshooting​

  • "Not signed in" — open the extension popup and sign in. Cookies must be enabled for marginalutility.dev.
  • "Couldn't extract article" — the page may be paywalled, login-gated, or not article-shaped. Broadsheet works best on news, blog, and long-form content.
  • Nothing happens when I press the shortcut — another extension may have claimed it. Check chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
