Features	6.0 New Tab Draft offers basic note-taking functionality, local storage for privacy, and some customization options. However, it lacks advanced features like rich text formatting and cloud sync.	9.3 Notebook Web Clipper offers a wide range of functions. In addition to the general saving of websites, we found the highlighting and direct saving of sections of text and the cropping options for images very helpful. Annotation tools improve the screenshot functionality here. 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.
Performance	8.5 The extension is fast and efficient, with minimal lag or performance issues.	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.
Design	7.5 The design is simple and clean, with options for customization. However, it's not particularly aesthetic or modern.	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 Some users find the design a little outdated.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	8.5 As a completely free tool, it offers good value for those who need basic note-taking features. However, even though it's free, we don't see too much value in this tool. As there are similar free New Tab extensions out there, we can not give the highest rating.	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.
Ease of Use	9.0 The tool is very straightforward with a minimal learning curve. Its simplicity is both a strength and a limitation.	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.
Security & Privacy	9.5 All notes are stored locally, ensuring high privacy. There are no concerns about data being uploaded to the cloud.	9.3 Your data is encrypted by Zoho during transmission and at rest. There is also a clear data protection policy without selling data.
Conclusion	New Tab Draft is great for those who prefer a simple, no-frills note-taking tool. While it may not offer much beyond basic note-taking, its privacy features and ease of use make it a solid choice, especially since it's free. User reviews are very good with an average of 4.8 stars in the Chrome Web Store. Many users love its simplicity and effectiveness. However, it might not provide enough value for those looking for more advanced features. In our tests, we weren't fully convinced and found ourselves leaning toward more aesthetically pleasing New Tab Extensions that offer a few basic features.	Notebook Web Clipper is a good tool for anyone who wants to increase their productivity by efficiently organizing web content. The integration with Zoho Notebook makes it a must-have for existing users of the platform. Due to its features and superior price-performance ratio, users of other current programs such as Evernote should also consider it as an alternative. Only minor design and performance issues could be improved. Overall, it offers good value for money, especially for those upgrading to the Pro version.
