Deleting a folder never deletes the pages inside it.\n  \u003C\u002Fli>\n  \u003Cli>\n    \u003Cstrong>Which tool is better for academic research?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\n    \u003Cbr \u002F>\n    Web Highlights is generally better for academic research because of its highlighting, annotation, and learning\n    features. The flashcards, one-click exports to Notion and Capacities, Markdown copy for Obsidian, and focus on\n    retention make it better for serious research.\n  \u003C\u002Fli>\n  \u003Cli>\n    \u003Cstrong>Does Web Highlights have a free version?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\n    \u003Cbr \u002F>\n    Yes, Web Highlights has a free Basic plan with unlimited highlighting and bookmarking. You can upgrade to Premium or\n    Ultimate for more advanced features like cloud sync and image highlighting.\n  \u003C\u002Fli>\n  \u003Cli>\n    \u003Cstrong>Can I use Web Highlights on my phone?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\n    \u003Cbr \u002F>\n    Yes, Web Highlights syncs across devices, so you can access your highlights and notes on desktops, tablets, and\n    smartphones through its web app.\n  \u003C\u002Fli>\n  \u003Cli>\n    \u003Cstrong>Is Raindrop better for visual content?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\n    \u003Cbr \u002F>\n    Raindrop is great at organizing visual content like images and videos with its gallery-style interface. However, Web\n    Highlights lets you annotate images better, adding highlights and notes to visual content.\n  \u003C\u002Fli>\n  \u003Cli>\n    \u003Cstrong>How much does Raindrop cost?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\n    \u003Cbr \u002F>\n    The free plan costs nothing and covers unlimited bookmarks, collections, and devices. Raindrop Pro is a paid\n    subscription (monthly or yearly, with the yearly option about 20% cheaper) — Raindrop only shows the exact price at\n    checkout, so open their Pro page from inside the app to see it for your region. For a feature-by-feature rundown of\n    the tool itself, there’s the \n    \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Ftooltivity.com\u002Fextensions\u002Fraindrop-io\">Raindrop.io review on Tooltivity\u003C\u002Fa>\n     .\n  \u003C\u002Fli>\n  \u003Cli>\n    \u003Cstrong>Can you highlight with Raindrop?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\n    \u003Cbr \u002F>\n    Yes, Raindrop supports basic text highlights on saved pages, and annotations are part of the Pro plan. If\n    highlighting is the main thing you do, though, a dedicated highlighter goes further: Web Highlights adds multiple\n    colors, formatted highlights, notes on every highlight, and PDF highlighting.\n  \u003C\u002Fli>\n  \u003Cli>\n    \u003Cstrong>Is there a Raindrop Chrome extension?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\n    \u003Cbr \u002F>\n    Yes — Raindrop’s Chrome extension saves the current page into your collections, and there are apps for desktop and\n    mobile too. Web Highlights takes the same one-click approach but is built around highlighting first: you mark the\n    text that matters and the bookmark comes along automatically.\n  \u003C\u002Fli>\n  \u003Cli>\n    \u003Cstrong>Raindrop vs Pocket — which one should I use?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\n    \u003Cbr \u002F>\n    That question answered itself in 2025: Pocket \n    \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fweb-highlights.com\u002Fblog\u002Fpocket-shuts-down-in-july-2025-the-10-best-alternatives\u002F\">\n      shut down for good \n    \u003C\u002Fa>\n    , and Raindrop became one of the main places its users migrated to. If you’re coming from Pocket today, the real\n    choice is between a bookmark organizer like Raindrop and a highlight-and-remember tool like Web Highlights.\n  \u003C\u002Fli>\n  \u003Cli>\n    \u003Cstrong>What is the best Raindrop alternative?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\n    \u003Cbr \u002F>\n    Depends on what you’re missing. If Raindrop’s bookmarking is enough but you want your saves to become knowledge —\n    highlights, notes, flashcards, spaced repetition — Web Highlights is the natural next step. If you mainly want a\n    reading queue, look at Instapaper or Matter instead.\n  \u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Fol>\n","Marius Bongarts","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002FMariusBongartsWeb","\u002Fblog\u002Fcontent\u002Fimages\u002F2022\u002F08\u002FIMG_7861_Square.jpeg","https:\u002F\u002Fmarius-bongarts.de\u002F","Founder & Software Engineer","https:\u002F\u002Ftwitter.com\u002FMariusBongarts",2894,[38,68,100],{"id":39,"slug":40,"title":41,"description":42,"url":43,"publishedAt":44,"createdAt":45,"updatedAt":44,"featured":20,"readingTime":46,"tags":47,"imageUrl":50,"imageAlt":51,"faviconUrl":52,"publishedAtString":44,"category":53,"readTimeString":67},"4c4f3f6e07b8d087c330193b","best-bookmark-manager-chrome-extensions","Top 12 Chrome Bookmark Manager Extensions: The Great Comparison","Compare the 12 best Chrome bookmark manager extensions.
