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 — public on this page. Trusting someone hides people they banned here (one hop).

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://, local, and other non-web pages have no thread on purpose.

Install without the store

Start Freenet.
Download a zip below (folder with manifest.json at the top).
Open chrome://extensions or brave://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, Ban and Trust are public on Freenet for that page. Mute and a short cache stay in this browser. The identity seed stays in the Freenet vault on this machine. Full policy: privacy.html.
