| Conclusion A summary of our findings and final thoughts for each extension. | Todoist is a great option for task management. We really like its simplicity, which is likely why it has become so popular. While some modern tools may offer more features, Todoist is one of the best choices if you’re looking for a solid, beautifully designed to-do list. Still, we noticed some performance issues. The extension takes longer to load when working in environments with a bad internet connection. It’s not a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of, especially if you often work in places with poor internet. Overall, Todoist is a strong choice for anyone seeking an easy-to-use and powerful task manager, though its speed and offline capabilities could be improved. If you would like to test Todoist yourself, you can use our code to get the Pro version for 2 months free of charge. https://get.todoist.io/mgs7dk | AdBlock is a reliable tool for blocking basic ads.
