Evernote Web Clipper 4+

When this clipper works, it is incredibly useful. Problem is, it frequently stops working. It asks me to log in to Evernote. When I do, it just opens the login screen again and asks me to log in again. Over and over. Equally bad on Safari and Firefox.

Once it insisted I verify my account by logging in to via an email link. I tried, and the login screen it took me too wouldn't accept my login information. This repeated demand for a login happens even if I am logged in to the desktop application.

I appreciate the dedication to security, but there's something here making the clipper unusable.
It may be time to switch to another note app, like Bear. I can still copy-and-paste info from web pages into Evernote, but it is so much less convenient, and I can't filter out the ads and menus by copy-and-paste, whereas the clipper could do that. Formerly. When it used to work.

I have used Evernote and its Web Clipper for many years, since the days Web Clipper was merely a Safari extension. I hadn’t been using it recently, and just noticed that the button was gone in my browser. Despite the poor reviews from earlier this year, I decided to go ahead and install the Web Clipper app. The installation was flawless, and the button worked on the second try. (The first time I clicked it, it sent me to an info page to tell me more about its features). I clipped something from a webpage right away, and confirmed that it went into my Evernote account. So, as far as I am concerned, this app works, and doesn’t deserve all the hate it has been getting.

Have been using for years and just read many of the more recent reviews. There have been ups and downs with web clipper - in particular when Apple makes changes / restrictions to Safari. But I've found that the Evernote team has become much more proactive in the last 2 years under new management in terms of responsiveness and features. Most people don't appreciate that websites are extremely varied in quality and their use (or lack of) proper standards. So some sites just don't work well for clipping. That's when you need to select the appropriate clip technique (i.e. summary, full article, snap shot, etc.....).
