# Save Pages Instantly with the Cache Browser Extension

> Install the Cache browser extension to save any web page to your library in one click — directly from Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.

The Cache browser extension turns any page on the web into a saved item in your library without breaking your flow. Whether you're deep in a research rabbit hole or stumble across a recipe you want to revisit, one click is all it takes — the page is captured, indexed, and waiting for you the next time you open Cache.

## Install the extension

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Chrome">
    Visit the **Chrome Web Store** and search for **Cache**. Click **Add to Chrome**, then confirm the prompt to install. Once the extension is added, click the Cache icon in your toolbar and sign in to your Cache account to activate it.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Firefox">
    Visit the **Firefox Add-ons** page and search for **Cache**. Click **Add to Firefox**, then accept the permissions prompt to complete the installation. Click the Cache icon in your toolbar and sign in to link the extension to your account.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Safari">
    Visit the **Mac App Store** and search for **Cache**. Install the app, then open **Safari > Settings > Extensions** and enable the Cache extension. Click the Cache icon in your Safari toolbar and sign in to activate it.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Edge">
    Visit the **Microsoft Edge Add-ons** store and search for **Cache**. Click **Get**, then confirm the installation. Once added, click the Cache icon in your Edge toolbar and sign in to connect it to your Cache account.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## How it works

After you install and sign in, saving a page is instant:

1. **Click the Cache icon** in your browser toolbar while you're on any page you want to save.
2. **The page is saved to your library immediately** — Cache captures the URL, title, and a preview so you can identify it later.
3. **Optionally add a note or choose a collection** before confirming. You can skip this step and organize items later from inside Cache.

That's it. You never have to leave the page you're on.

## Your ingest token

The extension authenticates your save requests using a secure, **user-scoped ingest token** that is tied exclusively to your Cache account. This token is generated automatically the first time you sign in through the extension — you don't need to copy, paste, or manage it manually.

The ingest token ensures that only you can save items to your library through the extension, even if someone else uses the same browser profile temporarily. Every save request is authenticated against your account before it is accepted.

If you ever need to regenerate your token — for example, if you believe it was compromised — you can do so without reinstalling the extension:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Extension Settings">
    Open Cache and go to **Settings > Extension**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Regenerate the Token">
    Click **Regenerate Token**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the action">
    Confirm the prompt. Your old token is immediately invalidated and a new one is issued.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Resume saving">
    The extension picks up the new token automatically on its next save attempt — no manual steps required.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Saving from the extension

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to a page you want to save">
    Open any web page in your browser — an article, tool, recipe, product page, or anything else worth keeping.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click the Cache icon in your toolbar">
    The Cache extension popup opens. It displays the page title and URL that will be saved.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add an optional note or select a collection">
    Type a quick note to your future self, or pick a collection to file the item in right away. Both fields are optional — you can always edit them later.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Save">
    Hit **Save** and the item is added to your Cache library instantly. The popup closes and you're back on the page, ready to keep browsing.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Pin the Cache extension to your browser toolbar so it's always one click away. In Chrome and Edge, click the puzzle-piece icon in the toolbar and select the pin icon next to Cache. In Firefox, right-click the toolbar and choose **Customize Toolbar** to drag it into view.
