Features	8.7 Milanote Web Clipper offers a range of features that optimize the storage and organization of web content. Text, images, and links can be inserted directly into Milanote boards. This is perfect for creative work in particular, as inspiration and resources can be collected quickly and then moved around the board in Milanote. This allows you to present your information visually and clearly. From our point of view, this is also a disadvantage for a certain target group, as it involves a lot of effort to sort them after you have saved something. A direct link with tags or similar is not possible to find the information quickly.	8.5 Diigo offers basic features for a highlighter and bookmarking tool. It works well and we were able to highlight most websites and they were recreated when revisiting them. The highlighter popup makes it easy to highlight text offering 4 colors. It looks like this: We would have wished to have more color options. Also, note-taking and the tagging functionality are working, but its design does not look appealing. The dashboard where your highlights are stored works well and gives you an overview of all your highlights.
Performance	9.5 The extension worked perfectly in the test. The reviews also speak for themselves, with no complaints about performance and no significant problems reported by users. It is fast and reliable, making it a reliable tool for everyday use.	8.0 Diigo performs well in terms of highlighting and syncing across devices. The fact that highlights are always synchronized can cause some loading delays. It's not as fast as other highlighters that use an offline-first approach, but it works reasonably well. However, the unreliable link creation feature and the simple sidebar outliner design need improvement.
Design	8.5 The design of the Milanote Web Clipper is clear and intuitive. The interface is simple, allowing users to focus on their content instead of navigating through complex menus. The only time Milanote's design can be a little overwhelming, even for new users, is when processing the data.	7.0 The design fulfills its functionality. The design of Diigo is outdated and could use a modern refresh. The lack of a nice overview of all your highlights on the page itself means you have to open the dashboard on diigo.com instead. The dashboard on diigo.com is okay, but other highlighters like Web Highlights have a much nicer user interface.
Value for Money	8.5 The web extension is free, but can only be used with a Milanote account. Milanote offers a free version, but this is very limited and will only last a few days with normal use. However, the paid plans are, in our opinion, good value for money, especially for users who want to work creatively and visualize information.	8.0 The free version of Diigo offers basic features and is fine for most users. The paid plans are reasonably priced and similar to other highlighters. However, we think other highlighters offer more value for the same price.
Ease of Use	7.2 From our point of view, the tool could be made a little more user-friendly. After installation, it was not entirely clear to us as non-Milanote users where my data was stored and how to access it. Once this initial hurdle had been overcome and access was granted via the website, the other functions are very intuitive to use and were explained.	7.8 Diigo is fairly easy to use, but the sidebar outliner takes some time to get used to. You can't see all your highlights on the page itself, so you have to go to the dashboard on diigo.com. We wish there was a sidebar to quickly access all our highlighted pages, like in the Web Highlights extension.
Security & Privacy	8.5 Milanote Web Clipper requires users to log in to their Milanote account, ensuring that all saved content is secure and private. Milanote only collects data for consent or legitimate reasons and states this in their privacy policy. Also, the data is encrypted and thanks to GDPR and Australian law, you can also access or delete your data. Overall, it's solid, but they could give more details on how exactly they keep everything secure.	7.5 Diigo takes reasonable steps to protect user data. However, since you need an account and your data is stored in their database, absolute protection can't be guaranteed. We think a highlighter should work without needing to sign up, but this feature is missing in Diigo.
Conclusion	Milanote Web Clipper is a great tool for anyone who wants to organize, optimize, and display their workflows. Especially for anyone already using Milanote, it is a must-have. New users will initially be overwhelmed by the variety of customizable functions. It does have some drawbacks, such as limited storage space in the free version, but its overall performance and functionality make it a strong choice for organizing web content.	Diigo is a handy tool for collecting stuff from the web, like bookmarks, highlights, and notes. It’s a good deal with its premium plans, but the old-fashioned design and limited highlight colors might be a turn-off. If you want something that looks nicer and offers more customization, check out alternatives like Web Highlights.
