LinkedIn does not allow you to save third (or higher) degree contacts.
With this extension for the Google Chrome Browser, you can save any contact, even if you are not connected to the person.
The contacts are stored locally in your browser's storage.
Installation
============
Download the contents of this repository to a folder.
Go to the extensions manager in Google Chrome.
Click the "load unpacked extension" button and open the place where you stored this extension.
Usage
=====
On the profile, below the person's image, you will find a text "Save".
Clicking it will save this contact to your local list of contacts.
The contacts are listed on your contact list ( /conntected/#local-contacts ).
You can manage the contacts from that list ("connect" and "remove").
Warning - Read This!
====================
The contacts are stored in your browser's local offline storage.
That means two things:
1) if you clear your browser's data, your saved contacts will be lost.
2) the extension will (at the moment) not sync the contacts to Chrome browsers on your other devices. They will be stored only in the browser in which they were saved.
TODO
====
* Improve position of the contact list on the network page
* Sync to other browsers.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
