Features Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Features' aspect of each extension. | 7.5 The core function that One Sec uses to make users more productive is a pause before opening the website. When I open websites I have defined, such as Twitter, a gray page with a countdown appears. During this period, I was reminded that I didn't want to spend so much time on Twitter and asked myself whether this was intentional or just a reflex out of boredom.
Winner in this category | 7.2 Save to Pocket offers a range of useful functions. ![]() The tagging system is particularly helpful for anyone who wants to organize and find their tags. This did not always work perfectly in the test. Sometimes websites were tagged, but these did not appear in the search with a unique search term. ![]() Compared to competitors such as Web-Highlights, the highlighting function is only possible after saving a website in the pocket and then searching there. It is not possible to highlight directly on the website. ![]() |
Performance Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Performance' aspect of each extension. | 9.5 In our test, we did not notice any delays or slowdowns due to the extension. Winner in this category | 6.0 The extension works when saving and synchronizing content on different devices. This happens almost in real-time. |
Design Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each extension. | 8.0 The user interface is clean and minimalist, and this also applies to the setup and settings. The extension offers an effective use of visual elements for taking a break by displaying a preset screen with a countdown. There would be potential for improvement here if the screen could be customized. Winner in this category | 8.0 The extension has a clear and intuitive design. The distraction-free reading environment is a good feature. However, the login process could be a little clearer. Winner in this category |
Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 9.2 The browser extension is completely free of charge. However, you only get a small number of functions. For anyone who only needs the basic function, this is unbeatable value for money. OneSec also offers an app with additional functions. At $4.99/month or $49.99/year, it also has a good price-performance ratio. Winner in this category | 8.0 The free version offers basic functions that should be sufficient for many users. The premium version offers additional functions such as full-text searches or improved tagging. The price-performance ratio is fine for us but could be too high for many basic users if they only use it occasionally. |
Ease of Use Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Ease of Use' aspect of each extension. | 9.5 The installation process was quick and straightforward. This also includes the setup, which is very intuitive with clear step-by-step instructions. Everything is also well explained in the settings menu afterward, so everyone should be able to find their way around. ![]() Winner in this category | 7.0 The tool is generally easy to use, but the lack of initial instructions can be a problem for new users. There are also recurring registration problems, which are reported by other users in the reviews. |
Security & Privacy Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Security & Privacy' aspect of each extension. | 9.5 Data usage is described transparently in the privacy policy, which places great value on user privacy. Winner in this category | 8.0 Save to Pocket uses industry-standard security measures, including encryption and firewalls. However, there could be stronger assurances regarding data security and liability for third-party services. |
