What it does
Cortex is the fastest way to share the web. Hold anywhere on any page, slide to a network, and release.
Hold anywhere, slide to a network, release. Without ever leaving the page. The extension adds a radial pie menu to every page you visit. Press and hold your mouse button anywhere, slide toward the network you want, and release. The fastest sharing experience ever designed. Shared to 10,000 active users in its first week. Named one of the year's 12 best interface ideas by Fast Company. Hold anywhere on this page to try it exactly as it works in Chrome. The live demo works best on desktop. Open this page on Chrome to try it yourself. It makes sharing beautiful and simple. It is to sharing as what Steve Jobs did to MP3 players. “Forget the social browsers.
