Features	8.7 The tool offers the option of independently tracking your time on different websites. Compared to its competitors, it stands out because it has thought about which functions are important for effective tracking. This can be seen, for example, in the function that automatically stops tracking if there is no activity on the website within a certain period. This avoids the problem faced by competitors: if several tabs are open, they all continue to be tracked simultaneously. The reports are also very clearly presented, but there is still some room for improvement in the evaluation, for example by classifying the websites directly into categories such as social media or similar, so that they can be evaluated later.	9.3 PresentBoard is characterized by its extensive range of functions and offers a variety of widgets to different requirements. The customizable widgets allow users to create their own dashboards. Starting with the home weather, personal backgrounds, the stock market prices of your shares, or simply your bookmarks. Everything can be individually arranged and visually customized. The iCalendar and Google Calendar integration worked perfectly in the test so that you can always keep track of your appointments immediately when you open a new tab. It is also worth taking a look at future updates, where PresentBoard has created a list of additional functions that users can vote on themselves to prioritize for future development. In our opinion, a decisive function that competitors have already partially integrated is the integration of ChatGPT directly as a widget in the dashboard.
Performance	9.7 The tool works reliably, there were no crashes or errors during testing. It tracks and reports data efficiently without you noticing any performance issues during use. A few users wrote in reviews that there were inaccuracies in the tracked time, which we could not reproduce in the test.	8.0 PresentBoard works reliably once it has been set up. Only when customizing the dashboard can minor problems occur. For example, occasionally clicking on the + symbol did not work, which is annoying when setting up. Occasional bugs reported by users in the reviews were actively fixed by the developers in regular updates. Overall, the extension delivers a good performance.
Design	9.0 The Design is clear and intuitive. Some design changes such as the dark mode can also be adjusted in the settings. In our opinion, the dashboard is the only area where there is still room for improvement in terms of presenting the evaluations.	9.0 When selecting the design of PresentBoard, importance was placed on both the visual and the functional. Users have almost no limits when it comes to customizing the dashboard. Whether different backgrounds of the dashboard, colors and backgrounds of the texts of widgets or ready-made templates. With a little time, everyone can find the right design. In our opinion, the design only could only be a little clearer and more intuitive when it comes to adjusting widgets.
Value for Money	9.3 As a free tool, it offers good value for money for users looking for basic tracking features at no cost. In comparison with competitors, many functions are already offered, but other competitors still have useful functions, particularly in the evaluation of data, and there is still room for improvement here.	9.5 PresentBoard offers extensive features for being free. Many features are offered for a fee by competitors, the ones here are free, making it a valuable tool for users who want to increase their productivity at no cost. Only the lack of some functions such as a directly integrated AI model is still decisive here compared to competitors. This is usually offered for a fee, but if it were also offered free of charge here, users would have an unbeatable price-performance ratio.
Ease of Use	9.0 Setting up the Web Activity Time Tracker is simple and does not require a great deal of technical skill. The tool is designed to be very user-friendly, including the setup with short instructions. The only thing that is a little confusing is that not all evaluations can be displayed in the dashboard via the icon. Only the evaluation for the current day is displayed here.	8.3 There were no problems with the installation process of PresentBoard during the test. After installation, a new tab appears on which users are immediately shown the tutorial video and various sample templates. Great importance was attached to user-friendliness here. This also shows that you do not have to register to use the functions. You only need to log in if you want to save the self-created dashboard in the cloud to avoid losing it. When creating your own New Tab with the various widgets, can be overwhelming at first. Without the tutorial, not all of the diverse number of configurations are immediately self-explanatory. There are also small bugs, such as occasionally being unable to click on the + because the cursor does not accept it or when enlarging/reducing widgets that sometimes require several attempts. In summary, the extension is easy and intuitive to use with the help of the tutorial. However, anyone who wants to set up their dashboard without using the ready-made templates should be aware of the high initial time expenditure.
Security & Privacy	9.7 Web Activity Time Tracker performs almost perfectly here, as it does not collect or transmit any data. This data is only stored on the local computer. The entire code can be read open source on GitHub. However, it is also pointed out in the very short privacy policy that this can change; a somewhat more detailed policy would be desirable in this case, in which it is also specified which data is stored locally and where.	9.0 PresentBoard takes user privacy seriously and ensures that data is not sold to third parties. The data protection regulations are described transparently so that users who value data security are in the right place. The only negative aspect is a security warning from Google when setting up Google Analytics. The application should still be checked here, if you continue to click that you trust PresentBoard, this has no influence on the later use, but this does not inspire good confidence for the user.
Conclusion	Web Activity Time Tracker is a perfect choice for anyone who wants to know how much time is spent on which websites. The user-friendly design and comprehensive reports make it an easy tool to increase productivity. The customizability of various features also stood out. Overall, it offers good added value, especially when you consider that it's free.	PresentBoard is a new tab extension that offers a variety of widgets and individual customization options. This is exactly the strength of the extension that sets it apart from its competitors and should help everyone in everyday life. Small bugs are still present, but functional errors are quickly responded to and updates quickly fix the errors described by users. The announced updates, including the integration of AI, also give hope for further useful functions that competitors already have. Overall, PresentBoard is a good choice for anyone looking for a personalized and efficient browsing experience.
