| Features Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Features' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 Infinity New Tab (Pro) offers many features that significantly enhance the browsing experience. In particular, the great possibility of customizing the layout and an integrated AI is a function that we no longer want to miss.  Tools like the simple to-do list, weather updates, or that you see the number of unread e-mails are handy for every day.  Winner in this category | 9.0 Adblocking:Poper Blocker completely blocks any type of advertising on any website. This includes any pop-ups, YouTube ads, and ads on social media. A whitelist can also be added for adblocking; adblocking is switched off on the websites. In our tests, the ad blocking worked, except for preventing web videos on YouTube.  Cookie blocking:Currently, constant cookie consent requests interfere with web surfing. Poper Blocker removes cookie banners without any problems in our test.  Social Media Content Filter: The social media filter is a very intuitive and easy-to-use tool for those who don't want to read about certain topics on social media. For example, if I no longer want to read about war in the world every day, I can enter “war” as a term here and it will be filtered out on social media so that it is no longer displayed to me.

| Performance Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Performance' aspect of each extension. | 7.0 The extension runs smoothly without any noticeable impact on browser performance. There are deductions because links on the website to instruction videos were no longer up to date and due to bugs, among other things, no subscription was possible at the time of the test. | 8.3 The extension blocks most types of pop-ups and ads well. In our tests, there were only problems with advertising videos from YouTube, which are not hidden. Also, some users in the reviews have reported problems with certain types of pop-ups that still get through. Winner in this category |
| Design Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 The design is clean and visually appealing. The high-quality backgrounds and intuitive layout make for a pleasant user experience. However, sometimes you will maybe find the customization options overwhelming initially.  Winner in this category | 8.5 The design is clear and user-friendly. The various settings and functions are easy to navigate. The constant request to use the Pro version is always annoying when using the Basic version. |
| Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 8.5 While the free version offers many features, in our opinion the subscription model might not be ideal for everyone. The Pro and Premium versions offer excellent value for those who need advanced features, but the cost might be a barrier for some users. Winner in this category | 7.5 Basic version: Pro Version: |
| Ease of Use Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Ease of Use' aspect of each extension. | 8.5 The extension is straightforward to set up and use. The only thing you can get lost in for hours is the individual settings until you have tested every logo, arrangement, etc. before making your final decision for your layout. | 9.0 Poper Blocker is easy to install and use. The user interface is intuitive, and the functions are easily accessible and configurable in the settings. Much attention has been paid to ensuring that anyone can use it, particularly with the social media content filter. Winner in this category |
| Security & Privacy Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Security & Privacy' aspect of each extension. | 7.5 Infinity New Tab (Pro) is transparent about its data collection practices and offers basic privacy protections. However, it could improve by explicitly addressing user rights and third-party data handling. | 7.8 The tool does not block tracking on websites as other competitors do. In the tool, Poper Blocker uses modern encryption and security measures, but as with AdBlocker, the collection of personal data, even in anonymized form, and the use of third-party cookies can pose a certain data protection risk.

| Conclusion A summary of our findings and final thoughts for each extension. | Infinity New Tab (Pro) is a great tool for anyone looking for a free tool to enhance their browsing experience with customizable features and productivity tools. While it does have some problems, such as occasional data loss to many users after updates, it's a valuable addition to your browser. We particularly liked the AI integration and the extensive customization options. However, the subscription model might not be ideal for everyone. Overall, Infinity New Tab (Pro) is worth considering if you’re looking for a new tab extension that offers many features for free. | Poper Blocker is a good tool for blocking various types of online distractions. With its extensive range of functions in the Pro version and its intuitive user interface, it is a powerful tool. The social media content filter was particularly impressive. This is currently a unique selling point of the tool. In terms of performance, there are currently issues with certain types of pop-ups and YouTube's ad videos. The Basic version is also very limited and does not include normal ad blocking on all websites. If you are looking for a comprehensive solution to block pop-ups, ads and prevent tracking, the Pro version is a good choice. As a free version, however, there are alternatives from competitors that offer more functions. |
