A couple of days ago makeuseof.com has posted an article titled “Ditching Evernote? Check Out 5 Free Web Clipping Alternatives” As an alternative to Evernote they have mentioned Microsoft Office OneNote and along with that they have mentioned my add-on Clip to OneNote.

To supplement OneNote’s tools, you can try out the experimental Mozilla Addon – Clip to OneNote. Though the results are not that clean cut, but the add-on makes sending of text and images a bit easier from Firefox to OneNote.

It is a good start and a motivational factor. Thanks to Saikat Basu at makeuseof.com

I sincerely thank all who have made a donation for this add-on. I am really happy to know that my add-on is useful to you. If you have a couple of bucks to spare, please consider making a donation.

I request you to review this add-on and post your comments so that the add on might be out of sand box as soon as possible.

Important Note:

Some users have reported that they get error message while downloading the add on. The error message may vary from Firefox could not install the file at .. Not a valid install package -207 or Firefox could not install the file at .. because: Invalid file hash (possible download corruption) when clicking an “Install” link. It is to be noted that these errors occur because of Firefox’s mirrors server error and not because of the add-on itself. And it will occur only to a add-on in sandbox and not to a public add-on. There are two ways to rectify it. First and recommended method is to logging into this site (if you don’t have a account, you have to create one) and then trying to download. Second method is to download from my server. Then you can open it in Firefox via File->Open file to install it.
