The Genius Web Annotator [1] was quite popular (and funded by Andreessen), though since the pivot into a media company, I believe it's no longer actively developed.
Hypothesis (Hypothes.is) [2] is active [3] and awesome. They are involved in the Web Annotation standardization efforts.

- comntr 7y agoThanks for the links! I'll do some research before rolling out v2 of my extension.
- comntr 7y ago[2] is very similar to what I want to do. They chose to insert an iframe into the current page and I don't agree with this decision: the extension should have as little access as possible to the page, ideally it only gets a hash of the url.
- fiatjaf 7y agoI was an avid Hypothesis user but since I moved from Chrome to Firefox I stopped using it entirely, waiting for their Firefox extension. It's been years since they promised it.
- tedmiston 7y agoA FF extension would be ideal. I use FF and have been just pasting the https://via.hypothes.is/ https://via.hypothes.is/ in front of articles or reading on sites with a Hypothesis integration like Outline.com.
