Prefer the official apps?

886.bot works with the addy.io extension and apps.

FAQ

Questions about the extension

What can the extension see?

Only the address of the tab you’re on when you open it (to suggest a description such as “example.com”) and the field you right-click. It doesn’t read pages, history or your mail, and it only connects to 886.bot.

Where is my sign-in stored?

The extension stores an API token in your browser’s extension storage. Your password is never saved. You can revoke the token at any time in Webmail → Aliases → API & apps, or by signing out of the extension.

Why isn’t it in the Chrome Web Store yet?

We publish the extension here first so you can install it straight away. Until it’s listed in the stores, Firefox removes temporarily loaded add-ons when it restarts. If you use Firefox, the official addy.io extension is a good permanent option.
