Research Collector

About

Research Collector is a lightweight side panel extension that helps you collect, organize, and revisit web content without juggling dozens of open tabs.
How it works:
Simply drag any selected text or link from a webpage into the side panel. Research Collector saves the page title, URL, and your selected text instantly — no clicks, no forms.
Key Features:

🖱️ Drag & Drop Capture — Select text or links on any page and drag them directly into the panel
📌 Save for Later — Build a personal reading and research queue as you browse
🔗 One-Click Open — Click any saved card to reopen the original page in a new tab
🗂️ Easy Cleanup — Delete items you no longer need to keep your list focused
📤 Export to Markdown — Export all saved items as a .md file, ready for Notion, Obsidian, or any notes app
☁️ Cross-Device Sync — Your collection syncs automatically across all Chrome instances signed into your Google account

Perfect for:
Researchers, students, writers, journalists, and anyone who browses multiple sources at once and wants a smarter way to collect and review information.
No account required. No data sent to external servers. Everything stays in your browser.
