The extension makes it easy to save web pages. This worked perfectly in our tests. All texts, including images, were saved correctly in a new page in Notion. However, some users report that various types such as mathematical formulas are not saved or are not saved correctly.

When saving the page, you are asked where it should be saved in Notion. The immediate organization of the saved content with tags, as illustrated in the Chrome store, is not possible via the extension, but only in Notion. This also includes highlighting text passages.

tags

An important component for us is the cross-device access, due to the direct saving in Notion, so you can read clipped pages on any device, online or offline.

9.3

AdBlocker Ultimate offers a wide range of features that effectively block ads on websites, YouTube and social media platforms.

Ad Blocking:
Ads are prevented on various platforms, both on the website and as pop-ups. There are other additional functions here, such as blocking all irritating in-page popups, cookie notices and third-party widgets, which substantially decrease page loading times.

Settings

The settings can also be used to remove only country-specific advertising and a whitelist can be added.

Privacy Filter
Blocks an extensive list of various online trackers, counters and web analytics tools. Based on the EasyList Privacy list and upgraded by our team. Additionally you can use the Fanboy's Social Blocking List which Removes social media integration.

Security:
The Security Filter automatically blocks all malicious domains.

The listed filters can all be switched on and off separately and individually.

Performance
6.5

Overall, we found the program to be a basic web clipping app that is well suited for saving basic websites.
However, some users report problems saving all content, such as math formulas, in the reviews. Performance can also vary depending on the browser and operating system.

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.

Design
7.0

The design is clear and concise. However, this is simply because there are hardly any customization options.

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.

Value for Money
8.0

Use of the extension is free of charge. However, compared to other providers of Web Clipper for Notion, it does not offer many functions. Whether a free version of Notion is sufficient for saving websites in the long term is another question. In our opinion, however, you get good value for money with the Plus version, which in particular allows you to save unlimited data.

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.

Ease of Use
8.0

The installation worked perfectly. Saving pages is intuitive and further processing in Notion is also easy for Notion users. The fact that you can't set tags directly in the extension is a disadvantage. If you haven't used Notion before, you will need to find your way around the app first, as you will be overwhelmed with many functions, especially at the beginning.

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.

Security & Privacy
8.2

Notion takes standard measures to protect user data. It also complies with the most important data protection regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.
Only the use of cookies and tracking technologies by Notion is somewhat questionable.

8.2

The tool offers the function of extra privacy protection by preventing tracking and thus increasing online security.
However, it is not entirely transparent in the policies whether the data collected by the extension is passed on to third parties.

Conclusion

In summary, the Notion Web Clipper is a useful tool for saving and organizing web content directly in your Notion workspace.

However, there are some limitations, such as not being able to mark things up or set tags directly from the extension. This is done afterwards in Notion. There are also occasional problems with saving certain types of content such as mathematical formulas.

Despite these drawbacks, it can be a valuable addition to your productivity toolkit, especially if you're already a Notion user.

AdBlocker Ultimate is a great extension for blocking ads. Ads on various platforms are removed without the user noticing. Particularly noteworthy are the various options for customizing the settings. The user can control whether the extensions should only be responsible for blocking ads or whether they should also offer support in the areas of data protection and security. Compared to other ad blockers, the additional function of blocking cookie banners stood out, which we no longer want to do without.

Overall, we consider AdBlocker Ultimate with its wide range of additional functions to be a reliable option for anyone who wants to remove advertising from their online experience.
