| Features Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Features' aspect of each extension. | 8.5 Stands AdBlocker offers a wide range of features, for everyone. In addition to the basic blocking of all types of advertising, there are also features such as help with online security. In the settings, you can individually define whether only advertising or, for example, all tracking on websites and more should be blocked.  Another interesting function is the option to allow only a certain number of ads on websites. This is called fairness settings. So if you don't want to be flooded with ads, but still want to support the website, this is a good option.  | 9.5 Notix offers a variety of features that make web clipping to Notion easier and more efficient. The ability to edit content directly in the browser before saving it stands out from competitors. You can add highlighted text directly and screenshots, videos, and other information afterward.  Another interesting feature is the AI-supported summaries and creation of headings with user-defined templates. You can see that the developer is working hard on updates here to stand out from other web clippers with useful features. Winner in this category |
| Performance Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Performance' aspect of each extension. | 8.5 The extension runs without any problems. No impairment of browser performance was detected during the test. Ad blocking worked without any problems on various websites during the test. The reviews mention problems with the whitelist, which we did not encounter. Winner in this category | 6.5 Performance is currently still very variable. The interface between the extension and Notion is fast, but for many users, several performance problems when clipping new information could be a deterrent. In our tests, it happened several times that the information already changed and recorded in the sidebar could not be saved and an error message appeared. This is very annoying if you have already put a lot of effort into making changes.  The AI function also rarely worked in our test and when it did it was very slow. Occasionally, a loading bar appeared that never disappeared. Overall, we see the greatest potential for the extension to improve here.  |
| Design Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each extension. | 8.0 The design is very simple and therefore intuitive to use. The pop-up displays relevant data, such as whether ads are blocked on the website. Overall, the design is designed to be user-friendly without overwhelming the user with information. | 9.0 The design is functional, but could be a little more intuitive to improve usability. The layout is clear so that the various functions can always be found immediately. Winner in this category |
| Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 9.5 Stands AdBlocker is free of charge. For this, the extension offers excellent value for money. Users get comprehensive ad blocking features, with individual options to customize these for themselves too. Winner in this category | 8.5 In our opinion, the extension offers a good price-performance ratio for both the normal user, who already receives the basic functions with the free version and the paid version with the full range of functions. The only thing that could put off paying users in particular are the performance problems that still exist in some cases. |
| Ease of Use Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Ease of Use' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 Stands AdBlocker is very easy to set up. Once installed, the basic user doesn't have to do anything else and can start surfing straight away. For the other features, anyone who invests a minute should be able to learn the remaining settings, as these have also been presented very simply to make it possible for everyone to use them. Winner in this category | 6.5 Although Notix is easy to install initially, it is not completely intuitive to use afterward. In particular, users not yet fully familiar with Notion may have problems. The initial setup with the creation of templates based on databases is not always clear. The professional 11-minute tutorial that is displayed after installation is useful here, but may deter new users who do not want to take on this effort. An additional effort that not everyone will take on is the registration required to make the API available at OpenAI. To summarize, the setup is somewhat complicated and more complex compared to other competitors, but the use of the features afterward should be intuitive for everyone. |
| Security & Privacy Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Security & Privacy' aspect of each extension. | 7.5 While Stand's AdBlocker increases online security by blocking malicious ads and phishing threats, the data collection that Stand's AdBlocker performs could be a problem for users who place a high value on privacy. | 8.9 Notix ensures and describes general data security in its privacy policy. The extension does not store excessive data, and user information is mainly kept within the Notion ecosystem. Within the extension, access can only be granted to selected individual pages, so that sensitive information on other Notion pages is protected. Only the dependency on an account with an AI service to use all the features may raise concerns for some users. Winner in this category |
| Conclusion A summary of our findings and final thoughts for each extension. | Stands AdBlocker is a very powerful tool for anyone who wants a free way to surf the Internet without constant ads. We can confirm the high ratings in the Web Store. In particular, the simple design and user-friendliness are a major positive point. | In summary, Notix is a powerful tool for Notion users who want to clip text, images, and more with useful features. Innovative features, such as AI-powered summaries and custom templates, set it apart from other tools. However, this is also where the biggest potential for improvement lies, as the initial setup is not always intuitive and performance issues could put users off. Overall, Notix offers great value for those looking for an alternative to the popular Notion web clippers. |
