| 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 | 6.0 New Tab Draft offers basic note-taking functionality, local storage for privacy, and some customization options. However, it lacks advanced features like rich text formatting and cloud sync. |
| 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. | 8.5 The extension is fast and efficient, with minimal lag or performance issues. Winner in this category |
| 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 | 7.5 The design is simple and clean, with options for customization. However, it's not particularly aesthetic or modern. |
| Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 7.5 Basic version: Pro Version: | 8.5 As a completely free tool, it offers good value for those who need basic note-taking features. However, even though it's free, we don't see too much value in this tool. As there are similar free New Tab extensions out there, we can not give the highest rating. 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 | 9.0 The tool is very straightforward with a minimal learning curve. Its simplicity is both a strength and a limitation. Winner in this category |
| 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. | 9.5 All notes are stored locally, ensuring high privacy. There are no concerns about data being uploaded to the cloud. Winner in this category |
| 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. | New Tab Draft is great for those who prefer a simple, no-frills note-taking tool. While it may not offer much beyond basic note-taking, its privacy features and ease of use make it a solid choice, especially since it's free. User reviews are very good with an average of 4.8 stars in the Chrome Web Store. Many users love its simplicity and effectiveness. However, it might not provide enough value for those looking for more advanced features. In our tests, we weren't fully convinced and found ourselves leaning toward more aesthetically pleasing New Tab Extensions that offer a few basic features. |
