Install Gist on Chrome
Install, pin, sign in, try it on the first page you read. Pin the toolbar icon before anything else — Chrome hides it behind the puzzle menu by default.
Pin the Gist icon to your toolbar before anything else.

Install

- Click Add to Chrome, then confirm the permissions prompt.
- Click Chrome's puzzle icon. Find Gist. Click the pin next to it.
Sign in
