Performance Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Performance' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 During our test, AdBlocker Ultimate did not experience any performance issues. Ad blocking worked flawlessly on all platforms tested, so there were no disruptions to websites caused by advertising. Winner in this category | 6.0 The extension works when saving and synchronizing content on different devices. This happens almost in real-time. |
Design Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each extension. | 8.5 The user interface is clearly laid out and should be easy to use for every user. The settings page is also very clearly laid out. Only the constant reference in the extension pop-up to the paid Windows desktop version detracts somewhat from the design. Winner in this category | 8.0 The extension has a clear and intuitive design. The distraction-free reading environment is a good feature. However, the login process could be a little clearer. |
Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 9.5 The Web Extension is free of charge. Compared to other free providers, it offers a very high number of functions and options for customizable functions. We would therefore rate the price-performance ratio as very good. Winner in this category | 8.0 The free version offers basic functions that should be sufficient for many users. The premium version offers additional functions such as full-text searches or improved tagging. The price-performance ratio is fine for us but could be too high for many basic users if they only use it occasionally. |
Ease of Use Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Ease of Use' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 AdBlocker Ultimate is easy to install and can be used immediately afterwards. Even beginners should find the extra functions easy to use, as they are described in detail. Great importance has been attached to the individual settings for each user. Winner in this category | 7.0 The tool is generally easy to use, but the lack of initial instructions can be a problem for new users. There are also recurring registration problems, which are reported by other users in the reviews. |
Security & Privacy Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Security & Privacy' aspect of each extension. | 8.2 The tool offers the function of extra privacy protection by preventing tracking and thus increasing online security. Winner in this category | 8.0 Save to Pocket uses industry-standard security measures, including encryption and firewalls. However, there could be stronger assurances regarding data security and liability for third-party services. |
