| 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 | 5.5 Tracking Time offers numerous functions aimed at both individual users and teams. Projects can be created for which time tracking can then be started. Detailed reports can then be output. In our tests, all these functions also worked in the Tracking Time tool. 
The Tracking Time extension therefore has great potential to integrate many useful Tracking Time functions. However, the functions are currently very limited in comparison to competitors. |
| 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 | 8.0 In general, Tracking Time works reliably, but in reviews some users have reported occasional slowdowns, especially when processing large data sets. Regular updates and optimizations could help improve performance consistency. |
| 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 | 8.0 The design of Tracking Time is clean and modern and makes it easy to navigate. The dashboard on the website is well organized and you get an instant overview of your times. There are still improvements to be made in terms of customization options such as layouts. |
| Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 7.5 Basic version: Pro Version: | 8.0 The web extension is free of charge. However, it should be noted that it offers only a few functions. Other competitors offer considerably more functions for their free extensions. If you only use the extension in addition to Tracking Time and consider all functions in the price-performance ratio, it is competitive. In particular, the free plan already offers sufficient features for most people. 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 | 7.0 Although the tool is generally easy to use on the website, there are problems with the basic functions of the extension. In the test, we started a time recording on the website and stopped it later via the extension. When we wanted to start a new task, it took us a while to understand the principle that only tasks that had already been created could be restarted. This is not an intuitive function, which is why users might be annoyed right from the start. |
| 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. | 9.0 Tracking Time uses basic security measures to protect user data. Encryption and regular updates ensure the integrity of the data. In our research, most of this could be read in the privacy policies, but a little more transparency in the handling of user data would still be an advantage, as this is stored online.

| 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. | Tracking Time is a tool for anyone who wants to improve their time management. The design is very intuitive, but unfortunately, the extension has hardly any functions. The extension is useful for anyone who uses Tracking Time, but anyone looking for a good extension for time tracking will not find it here. |
