SimpleShare currently supports Facebook, Twitter, Google+, GMail, and email sharing of visited sites, via an easy access icon in the Chrome address bar. The extension calls the supported services' own web posting interfaces and therefore requires that the user be logged in to the used services via their web interfaces. However, because of this architecture, the extension itself does not not need to be authorized to access your social service accounts, or store any credentials for them - just install it and it works!
SimpleShare requires access to your tabs and to your web data. These access permissions are required in order for the extension to be able to present an icon as a page action on suitable pages (i.e. HTTP/HTTPS URIs) and in order to be able to share said page addresses with the social network services that it supports. If you are concerned about these permissions you are welcome to browse and audit the SimpleShare source code on the link below.

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!
