Features Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Features' aspect of each extension. | 9.3 Todoist offers comprehensive functions for task management. Tasks can be prioritized, labeled and filtered. ![]() Another good feature is that websites can be saved directly as tasks. This can be done via the taskbar button or by right-clicking. In this way, information on a website can be added directly as a task that you want to edit or read up on later. ![]() The extension can also be used to mark tasks directly as completed. Other features like collaborating on projects and tracking progress with personalized productivity trends add further value. Some of these advanced features of the application, such as customized templates and advanced reports, are available in the paid plans. Winner in this category | 8.0 Several features are included in the free Urban VPN Proxy. The most obvious is IP address masking, which allows VPN access to servers in over 80 countries. ![]() An adblocking function is also integrated as an add-on, which reduces unwanted advertising while surfing and also protects against mining websites. ![]() However, advanced security features such as a kill switch or multi-hop connections, which are available in some premium VPNs, are missing here, probably due to the free version. |
Performance Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Performance' aspect of each extension. | 7.3 Most of Todoist's functions worked quickly and without problems in our tests. ![]() Winner in this category | 5.5 The performance of Urban VPN Proxy was good at the beginning of the tests, the connection speed and server availability were also okay, but could be even better in our tests. Especially at peak times, when the server load is high, you notice a sharp drop in speed. |
Design Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each extension. | 9.5 The design is clean and intuitive, making it easy to navigate immediately. The interface can also be visually customized to suit your needs, but these are not overdone. The option of color-coded priority levels and project labels also helps with organization. Winner in this category | 8.0 The design of Urban VPN Proxy is clear and simple. Every user is immediately shown the basic functions and these can be switched on and off directly as required. |
Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 The functions of the Todoist extension are free of charge. The free functions of the Todoist application should also be sufficient for most users. For users who want to use functions such as reminders or additional view options, the price should also be reasonable. With an annual payment installment, $4 per month is reasonable in our view. Winner in this category | 8.0 Urban VPN Proxy is free and has a good price-performance ratio. With access to over 530 servers without a subscription fee, it's perfect for any basic user. You also get additional functions such as adblocking for free. However, it should be noted and clear to everyone that you “pay” for the use by saving your tracked data through the extension. |
Ease of Use Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Ease of Use' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 In our test, we had no problems with the installation and the first steps. The creation of tasks and overall use is self-explanatory. There are also many instructions and tutorials already available for the tool. Winner in this category | 9.0 Urban VPN Proxy is a very easy-to-use tool overall. The installation process is quick and uncomplicated, and you can start establishing a VPN connection immediately after installation. Every user should have no problems with it, only the performance problems can cause some users to despair. Winner in this category |
Security & Privacy Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Security & Privacy' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 Todoist describes its data security in detail in its Privacy Policy. This states that the data is encrypted according to the state of the art and that regular security updates are carried out. The data is stored in the cloud for synchronization; it cannot be stored locally. Winner in this category | 6.0 Urban VPN Proxy offers basic encryption according to OpenVPN standards. Due to the VPN function, you initially browse the websites anonymously. At the same time, however, the service collects precisely this web browsing data for itself. The data is collected in an anonymized format. The browser extension also lacks a clear no-logs policy and other advanced security functions, which also affects the rating in this category. |
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 | Urban VPN Proxy is a perfect choice for those looking for a free VPN service with basic features.
