Web Clipper (Nimbus)

useless

3rd class app

useless

I'm not sure what happened to Nimbus, but recently Chrome informed me it contained malware. Installed this instead hoping it would be a like-for-like replacement but no such luck. Entirely useless. I should have read the reviews before I added it!

Was cool before, now it is useless for me. Where is the option where the extension takes you a screenshot of the whole page from top to bottom and then gives you the ability to immediately safe that screenshot on my local PC? GONE! :(

useless useless useless

Much like their previous malware ladden version this version insists on us registerring. DON'T... they don't need you to register, they are getting your email, and any public info you have including contacts (address, email and phone numbers) by registering. For Windows users, search for a free tool called, "LightShot"... Once installed it takes over the PrntScrn button to instantly capture anything on the desktop or active tab. But like Nimbus capture it includes tools to add text, boxes, arrows etc and easily lets us save all without launching a separate tab or program.

You don't need this at all. It was good but now it is not working, only full page

Very bad! I signed up thinking was the same Nimbus I was using before. Nothing work. Cannot clip, cannot go to the settings, cannot do anything. Now I cannot even delete my account without starting a free-trial, but they make sign-up from the extension without even telling you that you will not have any freedom to access to your account. The company is called Fusebase. I am sorry for their customers.

I won't recommend; you can not use it anymore for free... you have to register!!!

Pure Nonsense

So disappointed at how bad this is now. I used to use this all the time and now I can't get it to do anything I need.

The Nimbus Note (Fusebase) Web Clipper is TERRIBLE. And nothing is being done about it. It's been over a year since the last update to the extension. As of this review writing, the Evernote clipper (which is already insanely great) was updated on March 4, 2024. The last time the Nimbus Web clipper was updated was January 26, 2023. 😰 I've moved from using Evernote (for the past 10+ years) to Nimbus/Fusebase, and the worst experience of all has been using the Nimbus Note Web Clipper. Almost every website I try to capture the Article view or Full Page view, and I'm baffled to see what the app returns! With the Article view it should just be a nice "read-only" version of the article but the formatting is terrible, and often will not even grab all of the text from the article on the screen! That makes this feature of the tool worthless. Then there's the "Full Page" capture which is equally bad or worse. The formatting is horrendous. Never has a page copied well and looked good when I look at the actual note that was clipped. What's funny is that it gives me a preview of what the copied page will look like, and this is often great! Then when I look at the actual note, in the Nimbus note app, it's NOTHING LIKE the preview. The Evernote Web Clipper is flawless, and after having used this Nimbus clipper for a while, it's really made me appreciate how perfect and refined their clippers is, in comparison to Nimbus.

Does nothing. You can select fragment or the entire page. The result is the same on Brave browser. It does nothing.

It is impossible to use this extension, if you need it also in Incognito Mode. Every time you enter that mode, the Nimbus page appear asking for login, which obviously will not save the session since you are in that mode. 1 star until they fix that. If not, I go for another extension. Thanks for everything.

Web clipper does not work properly. The layout and images are not maintained and tend to go out of place and goes beyond the screen estate. Images get distorted as well. On mobile screens, it is un-readable. Have flagged this to Support for months but so far no solutions yet.

Requires an account sign up now and lacks the core features that made nimbus great back in Dec 2019. Bad udpate.

This was the best capture app I've used for years. Now it's as bad as everyone else once they removed image capture. Have no use for this now.

Garbage after the change. And now they have my email to sell me more garbage and then sell it to more people to sell me more garbage. This is just a dumpster fire! Thanks whoever decided to "take advantage" of the fact that you had a good working original application. Peace out!

very unstable system. lost my saved files.

Well liked the idea, minus the fact it will not login to the account from the extension at all. Keeps saying it wants me to allow popups etc but all my extensions are white list only dah! so they want to do background task whenever they want! not happening on my computer! PS Goggles Keeper Works better and just the same, if you don't want to use that I recommend using GNOTES search in the play store and chrome store for both app and extension. Justin Cram DyingJedi

Useless, required account in the cloud

Seems to have promise if I could log in, guess it's just another empty shell :-(

I will look forward to changing this review in the future, but as of November 2023, it does not seem to work on my Platform. Asus Chromebook 302c. I tried this out today since Nimbus Pro screen recorder is not working and cuts off the right 1/4 (Quarter) of the page when doing full page screen shots. This seems to be a New issue. FOR THIS SOFTWARE CHROME EXTENSION: 1. It does not launch. 2. You can select the drop down, but nothing happens. 3. No way to open settings. Will not do any actions. 4. Seems to not be working for me at all. I will see if I can contact the Nimbus dudes. THey are really good at responding to emails. However, I am horrible at responding back. So that might be the problem. Hope things get fixed in the future with an update or rollback. THanks! -iMickey503

I tried this app because Nimbus capture started to require a screen reload every time I wanted to use it. Clipper requires a reload as well, and I have not been able to find any help for this issue. I am hoping it is just a setting somewhere, but I have no idea where to look. Chromebook.

Nowhere near as good as evernote's web clipper: - Doesn't automatically detect the main article fragment - Doesn't provide +/- control on each fragment to expand/contract it in the DOM hierarchy - Misses some images/sections completely that evernote web clipper captures properly - Images not scaled/positioned properly. e.g. totally messes up emojis on a facebook page It's certainly better than OneNote and many other web clippers, but unfortunately still well behind evernote.

Tried to clip receipt from www.edimdoma.ru and no luck. Clipping progress going forever and no content was clipped.

Summary: The UI (User Interface) needs improvement...Nimbus Clipper needs that Screenshot feature back, even though it can routed through their other extension, Nimbus Screenshot. Gave both Nimbus & Evernote my "difficult" site challenge.. Cnn covid updates. Nimbus hanged on everything ..changing parser settings didn't solve .. So did Evernote.. but, Evernote Screenshot works quickly. Nimbus Clipper doesn't have Screenshot feature, and the routing with their other extension, Nimbus Screenshot didn't coordinate that well. Neither programs seem to have built-in OCR. Finding the editing function was confusing and it doesn't seem to work on everything. As newbie, I clicked "quick clip" option. Later, I couldn't figure out how to get to my dashboard Quick Clip is a nice option, but there should always be a button to get the the Dashboard ..either in context menu or a button option on Save screen.

It doesn't function very well, but still it gives you an slight hope that one day it will be up and running. anyways, please fix the issues with log in and data loss as it happened to me and I had to uninstall the extension.
