 Mink is a Google Chrome extension that uses the [Memento protocol](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7089) to indicate that a page a user is viewing on the live web has an archived copy and to give the user access to the copy. If no copies exist, the extension provides one-button access to preserve the page in various web archives and to easily view the page once it has been preserved.
 
-## Install
+## Features
 
-The extension is available for download from the [Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mink/jemoalkmipibchioofomhkgimhofbbem)!
+- Seemlessly see how well-archived a live web page is while browsing.
+- Using the interface, quickly navigate to past captures of the page and traverse available captures from multiple web archive.
+- No captures? No problem! With a single button click, Mink will submit the web page you are currently viewing to multiple web archives.
+- Too many captures? When the set gets large, Mink intutitively organizes the set of captures for easy, hierarchical, time-based selection.

+## Installation
+
+* Go to the [Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mink/jemoalkmipibchioofomhkgimhofbbem)
+* Click "Add to Chrome" to install Mink.
+* Once installed, click the Mink icon in the Chrome toolbar to see how well-archived the current page is and navigate to the past.
 
 ## Usage
 
 The extension works by querying the archives when you browse the web. For each page you visit, Mink sends an asynchronous request to a Memento aggregator and displays the number of mementos (web pages for the URL in the archives) using a badge over the Mink/Memento icon in the browser's button bar.
 
 ### Selecting a Memento
 
-For web pages with few mementos, the dropdown menu is the most accessible way to view the memento in a web archive (e.g., [Internet Archive's Wayback Machine](http://web.archive.org/)). To do this, click the Mink button bar icon, select the date/time from the dropdown and click the "View" button. When viewing a memento, selecting the icon again will return a different interface with a button to return to the live web.

 ### No mementos? No problem!
 
-If no mementos exist in the archive, the extension will indicate this with a red "no mementos" icon and give the option to submit the URL to various archives for preservation.
