Your reading, your choices
New saves follow your default visibility and start private unless you choose otherwise. Change this in Profile → Reading & feed preferences. Existing reads keep their privacy and progress when saved again.
Up next is your queue. Finished is your reading history. Recommended contains only reads you explicitly endorse to approved friends.
Permissions & privacy
The extension accesses the current page’s URL and title when you click it, and connects only to readrex.com using your existing session. It does not collect browsing history or copy your password.
Read the privacy policy →Having trouble saving?
Saving is confirmed only after ReadRex responds. If sign-in expires, sign in again in the same Chrome profile, return to the article, and retry. Browser cookie restrictions may prevent the connection; you can still copy the link and use Save something in the web app.
