| Features Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Features' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 Adblocking:Poper Blocker completely blocks any type of advertising on any website. This includes any pop-ups, YouTube ads, and ads on social media. A whitelist can also be added for adblocking; adblocking is switched off on the websites. In our tests, the ad blocking worked, except for preventing web videos on YouTube.  Cookie blocking:Currently, constant cookie consent requests interfere with web surfing. Poper Blocker removes cookie banners without any problems in our test.  Social Media Content Filter: The social media filter is a very intuitive and easy-to-use tool for those who don't want to read about certain topics on social media. For example, if I no longer want to read about war in the world every day, I can enter “war” as a term here and it will be filtered out on social media so that it is no longer displayed to me.  Winner in this category | 8.5 Evernote Web Clipper offers a large number of functions that make it easier to save and organize web content. These include simple bookmarking, but also other functions such as the ability to add highlights and comments to screenshots, which we find particularly useful.  A very important main function for us is also to set tags and easily find saved data, photos, or similar using tags. Titles can also be added here to display them clearly in your notebook.  |
| Performance Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Performance' aspect of each extension. | 8.3 The extension blocks most types of pop-ups and ads well. In our tests, there were only problems with advertising videos from YouTube, which are not hidden. Also, some users in the reviews have reported problems with certain types of pop-ups that still get through. Winner in this category | 7.0 Performance is a major drawback of Evernote Web Clipper. Many users report issues in reviews about the tool not loading or not working properly. Although it offers many features, these performance issues can be annoying and limit overall effectiveness. In our tests, only a few minor performance issues were detected. |
| Design Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each extension. | 8.5 The design is clear and user-friendly. The various settings and functions are easy to navigate. The constant request to use the Pro version is always annoying when using the Basic version. Winner in this category | 7.0 The design is functional, but not particularly intuitive. Although the interface is clear, navigating the settings and functions is somewhat confusing. Improvements in the design of the user interface could improve the accessibility of the tool for a larger target group. |
| Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 7.5 Basic version: Pro Version: Winner in this category | 7.5 The extension itself is free, but it is only really useful when the paid version of Evernote is activated. Considering that you have to think your way in to set everything up and use it, the price-performance ratio might be a bit expensive for basic users. Winner in this category |
| Ease of Use Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Ease of Use' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 Poper Blocker is easy to install and use. The user interface is intuitive, and the functions are easily accessible and configurable in the settings. Much attention has been paid to ensuring that anyone can use it, particularly with the social media content filter. Winner in this category | 6.5 The tool has a slightly larger learning curve, especially for new users. Numerous shortcuts can be defined for easy clipping, but it can take a long time from initial setup to full use. In addition, many users have reported problems with logging in and loading the tool. |
| Security & Privacy Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Security & Privacy' aspect of each extension. | 7.8 The tool does not block tracking on websites as other competitors do. In the tool, Poper Blocker uses modern encryption and security measures, but as with AdBlocker, the collection of personal data, even in anonymized form, and the use of third-party cookies can pose a certain data protection risk. | 8.0 Evernote Web Clipper handles user data responsibly and has clear data protection guidelines. However, the tool does not respond to “Do Not Track” signals, which could be problematic for some users who value this. The data is stored on US servers, meaning data protection law applies there.

| Conclusion A summary of our findings and final thoughts for each extension. | Poper Blocker is a good tool for blocking various types of online distractions. With its extensive range of functions in the Pro version and its intuitive user interface, it is a powerful tool. The social media content filter was particularly impressive. This is currently a unique selling point of the tool. In terms of performance, there are currently issues with certain types of pop-ups and YouTube's ad videos. The Basic version is also very limited and does not include normal ad blocking on all websites. If you are looking for a comprehensive solution to block pop-ups, ads and prevent tracking, the Pro version is a good choice. As a free version, however, there are alternatives from competitors that offer more functions. | Evernote Web Clipper is a good tool for anyone who needs to save and organize web content. Its integration with Evernote makes it a powerful extension for productivity enthusiasts, especially if Evernote is already in use. Drawbacks include ease of use and performance issues reported by users. Overall, it is a strong tool but may require some patience and troubleshooting. |
