Features	7.0 In our tests, the functions of Tab Notes proved to be ideal for quickly creating notes directly in the browser. If you need to develop ideas or jot down information quickly while browsing, you don't have to jump back and forth between apps. Notes can be synchronized across different devices with GitHub gists to keep everything in one place. There is a dark and light mode function, but we would like to see more customization options here. The option to access your notes offline can also be an advantage. This also includes the export function, where the notes are exported as a text file. Functions such as “Customize: Edit font, font size and more” and “Styled text: Make your text bold, italicized or underlined.” are listed as features on Github. These were not found in our tests in the extension on Chrome and Firefox. We feel that this function is important to be able to structure the notes a little, which would further improve the extension.	9.0 Save to Notion offers a comprehensive set of features that make it easy to save and organize web content. The one-click save feature is particularly useful for quickly capturing information without interrupting your workflow. The ability to highlight, tag, and organize content directly ensures that you can easily find the content you need later. Another very useful feature is the screenshot function. Either the entire page or just a desired part is screenshotted and then a description is immediately added, which is saved directly in the desired page on Notion. The support for templates and batch saving may not be intuitive to set up at first, but it saves the user a lot of time when saving similar information.
Performance	7.5 In terms of performance, Tab Notes is fast and responsive. It doesn't take up any resources, so your browser runs smoothly. Only the settings selection page didn't work for us. Selected options could not be saved here.	8.5 The extension works perfectly. In our tests, the information is saved quickly and synchronized across devices. However, some users write in their reviews about occasional performance problems, especially when logging in and synchronizing.
Design	8.0 The user interface is very clear and easy to use. We had no problems finding my way around and using the tool. In our test, we noticed that we would like to see a few more themes and color options. The layout is intentionally simple to minimize distractions, but it would be important to have different layout options for the font.	8.0 The Save to Notion design is clearly laid out. In our opinion, it could only be a little more intuitive when setting up templates for the first time.
Value for Money	8.0 The price-performance ratio of Tab Notes is fine. The extension is completely free. Compared to other free tools, however, the functions and customization options are somewhat limited. However, if you are looking for a simple extension for short notes without any frills, you will find it here.	9.5 The free version of Save to Notion offers excellent value for money, and the premium plan, at $36 a year, offers additional features at a reasonable price for those needing advanced functionality. Especially compared to Notion's official extension “Notion Web Clipper” we tested, you get a lot of features here. However, it must be borne in mind that you will quickly reach the limits of the free Notion version by saving website content and will need a paid plan.
Ease of Use	8.2 We found Tab Notes to be super easy to use. Installation and subsequent navigation is a breeze, and you can get started straight away without needing a manual. Due to the small number of functions, it is suitable for anyone, no matter how tech-savvy they are, to take simple notes. Only the non-functioning of the settings page can confuse new users.	7.8 The extension is easy to set up and use. Only the creation of templates can be a little confusing for some users at first. If you are already a Notion user, this should not be a problem. Some users also report login problems, but this was not the case in our test.
Security & Privacy	8.5 Tab Notes uses standard encryption to protect your data. Advanced security options are not available. The privacy policy is also kept very simple and does not provide detailed information about data management. In general, the basic security and data protection guidelines are adhered to, but in our opinion they could be presented in more detail.	8.5 Save to Notion uses industry standard security measures to protect user data. As with any online service, you should be aware that all saved data is stored with another third-party provider in addition to Notion via the extension.
Conclusion	Tab Notes is a good tool for anyone who wants to write down ideas as a note as quickly as possible without having to sort them out too much. Its intuitive and simple design increases productivity by reducing distractions when you just want to make a quick note. It could still be improved in areas such as customization and the number of features. Overall, it's worth considering for anyone who wants to quickly collect notes and possibly sort them into another application later.	Save to Notion is a great tool for anyone wanting to save and organize information and increase productivity. For anyone who works with Notion, we think it's a must-have. This is simply due to the ease of saving highlights and screenshots in one click. Although users report occasional problems with logging in, these did not occur during our tests. In our opinion, the overall performance with the price-performance ratio is currently the best for Notion users. Anyone not currently using Notion should first test Notion and check whether it is right for them, or check the paid packages, as the free limits are quickly reached here.
