# QOwnNotes Web Companion browser extension
Visit the Chrome Web Store (opens new window) or the Firefox Add-ons page (opens new window) to install the QOwnNotes Web Companion browser extension (opens new window).
You can also find the extension on GitHub (opens new window).
Info
QOwnNotes needs to be running for the Web Companion browser extension to work.
# Web clipper
Right-click on a webpage or selected text to use the web-clipper functionality. There you can also create a new note with a screenshot of the current webpage.
TIP
The web clipper is also scriptable! Take a look at the websocketRawDataHook if you want to control what you clip from webpages.
# Bookmarks
By default the browser extension will show all links of the current note in a popup when you click the QOwnNotes icon in your browser. These links will get a tag current.
You can also manage your bookmarks in notes with the note tag bookmarks (changeable in the settings). These links can also have tags and a description that will be shown in the browser extension.
New bookmarks are stored in a note called Bookmarks (also changeable in the settings).
TIP
You can also import your browser bookmarks into QOwnNotes with the web companion browser extension!
