Features	8.7 The extension offers a comprehensive set of features that cover all essential web clipping needs. The templating system is particularly powerful, allowing for automatic metadata extraction and custom formatting. The highlight feature works well, though we noticed some issues with certain websites. The ability to save different types of content (full page, selection, main content) provides flexibility. The hotkey system is well-implemented and customizable.	9.0 Save to Notion offers a comprehensive set of features that make it easy to save and organize web content. The one-click save feature is particularly useful for quickly capturing information without interrupting your workflow. The ability to highlight, tag, and organize content directly ensures that you can easily find the content you need later. Another very useful feature is the screenshot function. Either the entire page or just a desired part is screenshotted and then a description is immediately added, which is saved directly in the desired page on Notion. The support for templates and batch saving may not be intuitive to set up at first, but it saves the user a lot of time when saving similar information.
Performance	6.5 The direct clipping to Obsidian did not work properly in the test. Only the headline was saved; the rest was not. However, with the intermediate step, Clip to Clipboard and then paste, it works. The clipping process can be slow on certain websites. The highlight feature sometimes lags on content-heavy pages. The extension uses minimal system resources.	8.5 The extension works perfectly. In our tests, the information is saved quickly and synchronized across devices. However, some users write in their reviews about occasional performance problems, especially when logging in and synchronizing.
Design	8.9 The interface is clean and intuitive, following Obsidian's design language. The popup menu is well-organized and easy to navigate. The highlight interface is straightforward and user-friendly. The settings page is logically structured, though some advanced options could be better documented. The visual feedback during clipping operations is clear and helpful.	8.0 The Save to Notion design is clearly laid out. In our opinion, it could only be a little more intuitive when setting up templates for the first time.
Value for Money	9.7 The extension is completely free with all features included. There are no premium tiers or paid versions. The feature set is comprehensive and well-implemented. The value proposition is excellent compared to paid alternatives.	9.5 The free version of Save to Notion offers excellent value for money, and the premium plan, at $36 a year, offers additional features at a reasonable price for those needing advanced functionality. Especially compared to Notion's official extension “Notion Web Clipper” we tested, you get a lot of features here. However, it must be borne in mind that you will quickly reach the limits of the free Notion version by saving website content and will need a paid plan.
Ease of Use	8.0 Basic usage is straightforward - just click the extension icon and select what to save. The highlight feature is intuitive and works well. However, setting up custom templates requires some technical knowledge. The learning curve for advanced features can be steep. The documentation could be more comprehensive for new users.	7.8 The extension is easy to set up and use. Only the creation of templates can be a little confusing for some users at first. If you are already a Notion user, this should not be a problem. Some users also report login problems, but this was not the case in our test.
Security & Privacy	9.5 The extension maintains excellent privacy standards. All data is stored locally in your Obsidian vault. No data is collected or shared with third parties. The extension doesn't require any special permissions. The code is open source, allowing for community review. The developer has a clear privacy policy.	8.5 Save to Notion uses industry standard security measures to protect user data. As with any online service, you should be aware that all saved data is stored with another third-party provider in addition to Notion via the extension.
Conclusion	The Obsidian Web Clipper is a powerful, privacy-friendly tool for saving web content. Its integration with Obsidian makes it particularly valuable for users of the note platform. The current focus is still on issues with clipping certain content types and occasional performance issues, which need to be resolved. The robust features and commitment to privacy make it a top choice for storing web content once the issues are resolved. For Obsidian users looking to improve their web research workflow, this extension is a must-have tool that delivers on its promise while maintaining user privacy and data control.	Save to Notion is a great tool for anyone wanting to save and organize information and increase productivity. For anyone who works with Notion, we think it's a must-have. This is simply due to the ease of saving highlights and screenshots in one click. Although users report occasional problems with logging in, these did not occur during our tests. In our opinion, the overall performance with the price-performance ratio is currently the best for Notion users. Anyone not currently using Notion should first test Notion and check whether it is right for them, or check the paid packages, as the free limits are quickly reached here.
