FreePinion
Comments on the page you are looking at. Stored on your Freenet node, not on a FreePinion server.
Install from Chrome Web Store Get Freenet
The Chrome Web Store build updates itself. Zips on this page are often newer: we can publish them as soon as they are built, without waiting for Chrome’s review.
What it is
A browser side panel for public comments on the current web page. Each page has its own thread on Freenet — software you run on this computer. There is no FreePinion company server. We do not receive your comments.
You need Freenet
Install Freenet and wait until http://127.0.0.1:7509/ shows the dashboard. Without it you can open the panel, but you cannot publish.
How to use
- Pin FreePinion and click the toolbar icon. A number on the icon is how many messages this page already has.
- Chat — public comments for this URL. The first post asks for a name in Chat; change it later in Account.
- Inbox — private messages with the same identity.
- Account — that name and your key. Export a recovery code if you use more than one computer.
- Mute — private, this browser only.
- Ban / Trust — Ban is public on this page. Trust (follow their bans) stays in this browser.
- Global Board — optional lists of pages people chose to share. Metadata only, not the message.
Reading does not need an identity. Posting does. The first message on a page spends about one second of work on this computer so spam is expensive. That is not mining: it does not run while you only read, and edits, deletes, Ban and Trust skip it.
chrome://, router/LAN pages, and the Freenet dashboard have no thread. Freenet web apps
(/v1/contract/web/…) do.
Install without the store
- Start Freenet.
- Download a zip below (folder with
manifest.jsonat the top). - Open
chrome://extensionsorbrave://extensions. - Turn on Developer mode → Load unpacked → that folder.

Update a manual install
Keep the same folder you loaded the first time. Unzip the new files into it, replace when asked, then click Reload on the FreePinion card. Do not Load unpacked a second folder, or Mute and alias reset.
Privacy
Comments, alias, fingerprint, and Ban are public on Freenet for that page. Mute, Trust, and a short cache stay in this browser. The identity seed stays in the Freenet vault on this machine. Full policy: privacy.html.
