| Features Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Features' aspect of each extension. | 8.5 Ad blocking: The free version blocks annoying advertisements on websites. With the premium version, additional functions such as the blocking of cookie banners or pop-ups can also be activated.  Privacy and Security: AdBlock blocks third-party trackers on every Website and protects your privacy. It also blocking malicious ads with malware, scams, and cryptocurrency miners.  Sync & Backup: With the Premium version, whitelists and user-defined rules can be synchronized across Chrome profiles. | 9.3 Notebook Web Clipper offers a wide range of functions.  Another unusual feature is the clean view function, where an article is clipped and ads or similar are deleted directly from the clip so that only the desired important data is saved.  Other features such as the smart card functions and the integration of meeting notes are a plus for professionals, but should not be relevant for everyone. There are still some advanced functions missing that can be found in the competition. However, these will probably only be missed by a few users. Winner in this category |
| Performance Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Performance' aspect of each extension. | 8.0 The ad blocker extension generally works without slowing down the browser on most websites. However, recent changes at YouTube have meant that AdBlock has not yet managed to ban ads from YouTube again. Winner in this category | 8.0 In general, the extensions work reliably, but can occasionally have delays. In our test, even large clips were processed well and quickly. Regular updates further improve the stability here. Winner in this category |
| Design Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each extension. | 8.5 The user interface is clearly laid out. With the premium version, you can also use functions to make individual adjustments. You're in control of the look, feel, and font size of AdBlock with easy-to-use controls. There is also the Image Swap function, which will still block ads, but it will replace some ads with pretty pictures of cats, dogs, and nature. Winner in this category | 7.5 The extension offers a clean and clear interface. In our opinion, however, there could be a little more customization options. Some users find the design a little outdated. |
| Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 7.5 The free version offers good value for money. Compared to other competitors, the premium functions may be somewhat more expensive. Some premium functions are offered free of charge by other providers. | 9.5 The free version already offers extensive functions. The premium version adds even more functions. The price-performance ratio of just 19.99 dollars per year is almost unbeatable, especially when compared with price plans from other providers such as Evernote. Winner in this category |
| Ease of Use Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Ease of Use' aspect of each extension. | 7.8 Installation is done in one click. However, you are immediately redirected to a website that informs you that payment is required to use it. However, this is only a voluntary donation.  | 9.0 In our tests, the basic functions were intuitive to use. In addition, a clear tutorial is shown directly after installation. For more advanced functions such as shortcuts, you have to click your way through the extension, but this is not difficult. Existing Zoho Notebook users in particular should have no problems. Winner in this category |
