Features	8.7 New Tab Notes offers a range of functions for quickly and effectively storing information and ideas in a structured manner. Headings are generally used to achieve a clear structure of the notes so that you can return to the notes you are looking for on the note sheet, which is always updated. The Markdown and shortcut support are particularly worth mentioning here, as they allow users to format the notes effectively and quickly. Anyone who already has experience with Notion, for example, will find it easy to use. However, new users may miss out on this function, as the markdowns are not described again in the extension itself and must be learned on the website. A small manual at the beginning should help new users to be able to use them as well. In addition to the headings, formats such as bullet lists, numbered lists, and codes can also be embedded. Other functions such as highlighting notes or integrating links can also be very helpful. For advanced users, a few functions may still be missing here, for example, to highlight them visually using different font colors. The automatic synchronization by the browser is used by the extension to synchronize data across devices. A big difference from other competitors is that the data is not stored on separate servers. Furthermore, the saved notes can be exported in various file formats so that they can be sorted and saved elsewhere later if necessary. Overall, the extension offers all the essential functions for general users to create structured notes. For advanced users, however, additional organizational tools could be beneficial.	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.
Performance	8.8 In our tests, New Tab Notes works reliably and without any significant noticeable reduction in browser performance. When opening a new tab, the extension loads quickly and smoothly. There may be short delays with large notes that need to be synchronized, but these are hardly noticeable. Overall, the performance should be sufficient for most basic users without any performance problems, although there could still be room for improvement for advanced users.	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.
Design	8.5 The design of New Tab Notes is clean and minimalistic. It creates a distraction-free environment where you can easily take structured notes without getting distracted. Since the design is specifically meant to be distraction-free, this is good. However, there could be a few more customization options, especially when it comes to the color design, including the notes. Overall, the design fulfills its purpose, but it does not win a beauty award.	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.
Value for Money	8.7 As a free extension, New Tab Notes offers excellent value for money. For the basic user, the range of functions should be sufficient, considering that it is a free tool. For advanced users, there are still a few functions missing that other providers already have. If these were also added free of charge, the price-performance ratio would be unbeatable.	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.
Ease of Use	8.5 New Tab Notes was easy to install in the test and the learning curve was very fast. Even Basic users should have no problems finding and using most of the functions straight away. However, one suggestion for improvement would be a small tutorial for new users on advanced features such as markdowns and shortcuts. Everyone who installs but doesn't see the website with instructions may not know about these features.	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.
Security & Privacy	8.2 New Tab Notes is an extension that stores all data exclusively via the browser. This approach is ideal for the user, as it eliminates the need for an account and reduces the risk of data breaches associated with other external cloud storage. This was apparent to us in our tests, but it is not clear whether the basic user is aware of this, as we were unable to find a privacy policy from the provider either in the store or on the website. This would be an important point of improvement to allow every user to read the extension's guidelines.	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.
Conclusion	With New Tab Notes, ideas, and information can be quickly and easily noted and saved directly in the browser without distractions. Text formatting features such as headings and the accompanying markdowns and shortcuts make it quick and easy to write them down in a structured way. The design is very user-friendly, but the extension could still benefit from additional export options and possibly more advanced functions. Overall, it is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a simple and effective solution to quickly save notes.	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.
