Wikimedia Apps/Reading list browser extension

General information
Based on feedback from users of the synced reading lists feature on both iOS and Android, support is being extended to Desktop web via browser extensions.

How does it work?
The initial version of the browser extension allows app users to add articles to their default list of saved articles in their app.

Synced reading lists must be enabled from settings within the app in order to use this extension. Users will be prompted to log in to Wikipedia so that articles added to the reading list via the browser extension can sync to the same Wikipedia account.

Can I use this browser extension without the app?
Not right now. The browser extension enables adding articles to accounts with sync-enabled reading lists, which is currently a feature exclusive to Wikipedia's iOS and Android apps. The Reading List feature may only be activated from the Wikipedia app, and your saved articles may only be viewed within the app as well.

Where can I download the app to start using synced reading lists?
Get the Wikipedia iOS app from the App Store. Get the Wikipedia Android app from the Google Play Store, or from F-Droid.

Can I use this browser extension without a Wikipedia account?
No. You must create an account in order so that reading lists synced to the app when they are added from the browser extension.

Which browsers will offer this extension?
It will be available initial on Chrome and Firefox, with a Safari extension to follow. Links to the respective stores forthcoming.
