User Reviews

PowerNotes Research is highly praised for its effective research and note organization capabilities, speed, and usefulness across various fields.

Cons

  • Users are limited to only one project in the free version, requiring payment for multiple projects.
  • Account deletion is difficult or not straightforward, causing user frustration.

Is PowerNotes Research Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

PowerNotes Research requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
