Features	8.0 A Fine Start offers features for users looking for a minimalist approach to managing their new tab. Organizing links into groups and sorting them via drag-and-drop allows for a tidy and efficient workspace to stay focused. Some functions must first be activated in the settings. For example, groups can be collapsed to hide sections that are not needed at the moment. In addition, all pages from an entire group can be opened simultaneously with one click. The optional sync account, available with the premium subscription, is a valuable addition for users working with multiple devices and ensures that their bookmarks are always up to date. Overall, the feature set is designed for minimalism. However, we still see potential here for a few more minimalist functions, such as a simple note-taking option.	9.0 Save to Notion offers a comprehensive set of features that make it easy to save and organize web content. The one-click save feature is particularly useful for quickly capturing information without interrupting your workflow. The ability to highlight, tag, and organize content directly ensures that you can easily find the content you need later. Another very useful feature is the screenshot function. Either the entire page or just a desired part is screenshotted and then a description is immediately added, which is saved directly in the desired page on Notion. The support for templates and batch saving may not be intuitive to set up at first, but it saves the user a lot of time when saving similar information.
Performance	9.7 In terms of performance, we did not notice any problems during the test. No slow loading times or anything similar were detected, even when opening groups with a high number of bookmarks, these were always opened immediately. Overall, A Fine Start offered impressive performance here.	8.5 The extension works perfectly. In our tests, the information is saved quickly and synchronized across devices. However, some users write in their reviews about occasional performance problems, especially when logging in and synchronizing.
Design	8.2 The design of A Fine Start is characterized by a clean and minimalist aesthetic that emphasizes focused work. The design is very intuitive and you can choose from basic themes, including dark mode. From our point of view, even though the design is meant to be minimalistic, it could be a little more customizable for the user. For example, it would be handy if you could move the groups around the website flexibly, as they can currently only be moved to certain predefined positions. A very rarely seen and positive aspect is a function in the settings. The extension offers the option of hiding the button for premium advertising and the footer on the New Tab page.	8.0 The Save to Notion design is clearly laid out. In our opinion, it could only be a little more intuitive when setting up templates for the first time.
Value for Money	8.7 A Fine Start offers all functions in the free version, only the cross-device synchronization is an added value of the premium subscription. For most users, the price-performance ratio of the free version is therefore perfect. However, users for whom synchronization is important may wonder whether just this one function is worth the cost of the premium model. There is still potential here to include other minimalist functions such as those offered by competitors to offer even more added value.	9.5 The free version of Save to Notion offers excellent value for money, and the premium plan, at $36 a year, offers additional features at a reasonable price for those needing advanced functionality. Especially compared to Notion's official extension “Notion Web Clipper” we tested, you get a lot of features here. However, it must be borne in mind that you will quickly reach the limits of the free Notion version by saving website content and will need a paid plan.
Ease of Use	8.3 A Fine Start offers a straightforward setup process. The drag-and-drop functionality for organizing links is intuitive, allowing users to quickly rearrange their bookmarks to suit their needs. Setting up the required bookmarks initially takes a little time, and a function for transferring bookmarks already in the browser could simplify the whole process. The additional functions that are initially somewhat hidden in the settings may also not be found directly by all users. Overall, the existing functions and the setup are easy to use, but there is still room for improvement.	7.8 The extension is easy to set up and use. Only the creation of templates can be a little confusing for some users at first. If you are already a Notion user, this should not be a problem. Some users also report login problems, but this was not the case in our test.
Security & Privacy	9.5 A Fine Start attaches great importance to security and data protection. The extension collects only minimal personal data and focuses only on what is necessary for the core functions. The privacy policy is transparent and makes it clear that data is not sold to third parties. The optional premium subscription requires an account, otherwise, not even an account is needed.	8.5 Save to Notion uses industry standard security measures to protect user data. As with any online service, you should be aware that all saved data is stored with another third-party provider in addition to Notion via the extension.
Conclusion	A Fine Start is a well-designed tool for anyone who just wants to have their bookmarks sorted on their new tab page. Its focus on privacy and user-friendly features makes it a perfect choice in this area. While the free version offers a wealth of features, the premium subscription adds little value. Overall, A Fine Start is a good choice for users who want to stay focused and have a New Tab page without a lot of distractions.	Save to Notion is a great tool for anyone wanting to save and organize information and increase productivity. For anyone who works with Notion, we think it's a must-have. This is simply due to the ease of saving highlights and screenshots in one click. Although users report occasional problems with logging in, these did not occur during our tests. In our opinion, the overall performance with the price-performance ratio is currently the best for Notion users. Anyone not currently using Notion should first test Notion and check whether it is right for them, or check the paid packages, as the free limits are quickly reached here.
