| Features Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Features' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 Raindrop.io offers an exceptional set of features that go far beyond basic bookmarking. The full-text search capability is particularly impressive, allowing users to find content within saved pages. The highlighting and annotation tools are well-implemented, making it easy to mark important sections of web pages. The team collaboration features are robust, and the permanent library feature ensures you never lose access to important content.

Another unusual feature is the clean view function, where an article is clipped and ads or similar are deleted directly from the clip so that only the desired important data is saved.  Other features such as the smart card functions and the integration of meeting notes are a plus for professionals, but should not be relevant for everyone.
