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.
| 9.5 Sider offers a comprehensive range of functions and is designed to provide a solution for every possible use of AI. From AI writing assistance to PDF analysis, for example, it covers all areas for every blogger. Creatives also get their money's worth here, whether creating images from text or editing photos, Sider offers these functions in just one tool and integrates the functions of other providers into your one tool. ![]() The number of integrated AI models, such as GPT-4o, Claude, or Gemini, also stands out. This ensures that users have access to the latest technology. ![]() In summary, Sider offers almost all of the current possibilities of AI in one tool. Winner in this category |
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 | 9.2 Sider generally performs well in the test with fast response times and reliable functions. The integration of multiple AI models ensures that users receive accurate and relevant information. However, there can be occasional delays, especially when using advanced features or at peak times. Continuous updates and optimizations could further improve performance. |
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. | 8.5 The design of Sider is very user-friendly, and the interface is quite clear, so it's easy to find anything. The sidebar is great because you can access features without leaving the page. However, it might feel cluttered for some people as there are so many options. A sleeker design could improve the user experience. 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 | 7.8 While Sider offers a free version with limited requirements, the premium plans can be expensive for casual users. While the feature set justifies the cost for power users, those who only need basic features may find it expensive. The availability of different pricing tiers offers flexibility, but an intermediate solution with a cheaper option could appeal to a wider audience. |
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 | 9.0 In our tests, Sider was easy to use without having to learn how to use it. The tooltips and instructions help you get started right away. It works well in our tests with popular browsers such as Chrome and Edge, which are quick to install and use. However, if you want to delve into the advanced functions, it can take a while to get to grips with everything. Basic users might be a little overwhelmed here. |
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 Sider stores the data on Amazon's US servers. The data protection guidelines are transparent and users have control over their data. However, usage data is collected for analysis purposes, which not every user will find acceptable. The assurance that data is never passed on and no spam messages are sent is a positive aspect. |
