With the arrival of version 4.0 Notefox introduced the highly requested synchronization of data via account!

We found an extension Open source For Browsers really very interesting and with an idea that in our opinion is potentially useful and innovative. Notefox in fact, it allows you to comment with a sort of note/post-it on any website you visit. The way this extension was designed is just like if you left a post-it inside a website and every time you visit it you can go and see what you were there

How does Notefox work?

First of all it goes extension installed available on Firefox come on Chrome. Once activated you will see that it has an orange color: this means that there is no note available on that page. The color changes to green when a note is found for the page you are visiting.

To insert a new note, simply press on the extension and decide in which macro-category the note should be saved:

• Global, it means that you will always see the green note and that the note therefore applies to any web page you have opened;
• Domain, the note will appear on any page of the chosen domain. For example, if you put a note like Domain on the page of this article you will see the green note on any article on the lealternative.net site, including the homepage;
• Page, in this case however, as you can imagine, the note will be seen exclusively on the page you have chosen and will not appear on any other occasion.

Inside the note you can insert anything that may be useful to you, also using some text formatting such as Bold, italics, underlined or crossed out.

The settings

An extra setting, which however requires important additional permissions (access to the data of all websites) and therefore potentially more risky is making the note appear directly on the page like a real post-it, also deciding in which part of the page it should be stuck. This setting can be very useful for example if you are working on a site and want to remember some things to do and not to leave too far behind.

We will show you other settings with a screenshot below, they are mainly related to the default settings, the colors used by the extension and other nice things such as spell check detection.

Download and use Notefox

As mentioned, the extension is only available for Firefox, also because the name Notefox seems designed to be used only on this Browsers.
