MindManager Snap Chrome browser extension no longer available or supported

Hi Marian,

Thanks for acting so promptly regarding the spam post.

As I indicated in my original post, the initial message I received said that the extension was no longer supported and had to be removed but unfortunately I didn’t take a screen shot of it. After I deleted the extension that message is no longer visible - instead there is the message that I quoted in my original post about the extension not being available because it doesn’t follow best practice for chrome extensions.

Hi Alex,

We have made the difficult decision to retire the MindManager Snap browser extensions. This decision was not made lightly, but due to the ongoing technical requirements to maintain and update these extensions, we have determined that we can no longer support them effectively.

While the browser extensions will no longer be available, we remain committed to providing you with powerful tools for capturing and organizing your ideas. You can continue to use MindManager Snap via our mobile and desktop applications to collect and send content to your maps seamlessly.

We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thank you for being a valued MindManager user.

Best,

-Marian

Thanks Marian.

I am a bit disappointed - while they weren't exactly groundbreaking, the browser extensions were useful research tools which saved a few steps in the process of sending website links to MindManager. This also adds to the general concern about the stability of the MindManager feature set, especially as the browser extensions were a fairly recent addition. And while I appreciate your prompt reply and the explanation, it would also help if these sorts of changes were more widely communicated.

Hi Marian,

This is a pity.
The SNAP functionality is important for all users who use MindManager as their Second Brain.
See the books bij Tiago Forte about this method.

MindManager is a strong Second Brain competitor for Notion, Obsydian, Evernote, and the like.
Without the browser extensions that position is not gone, but weakened.

Hope someone can find the funding to bring it back.

Sorry to hear about SNAP browser extension.

This is awful news. If I'd known this at the time, there's a good chance I wouldn't have renewed my MM license. I rely (or relied, I guess) on this feature. I share Alex G.'s concern about what this bodes for the MM feature set going forward. What feature that I rely on will be retired next? As Ary V. notes, this weakens MM in a certain sector of the market, and I will now have to start looking at alternatives. Bummer.

I just clip the url and paste it in Snap. Or use the share option in LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc
