Try removing the extension and then adding it back.

My evernote button in chrome keeps “disappearing” – when I go to reinstall it, the site shows that it is already installed.

Can you help?

Whenever I attempt to use the webclip extension in Chrome the Evernote icon displays a red plus (+) sign and neither the note I created on the webpage is added to Evernote. Can you offer an explanation.

Hi there,

Are you guys also working on a Firefox plugin that supports site memory? I’ve been trying Chrome, but I just can’t get used to that browser. So I’m eagerly waiting for the firefox support of site memory.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Overall Evernote is amazing and the clipper is brilliant. If your users seem picky, it’s because you deliver on the details which is great!!! The Chrome extension takes a long time to launch and clip. Presumably this is b/c it’s synching for the search feature. If that’s the case, could the clipper and clip) w/out synching and synch only when the user searchs? I agree with others that the one week log-in is a drag. Yuko is not the only one having a problem with the clipper keeping information from a previous clip. Please fix that one. Keep up the amazing work!

I scoffed when I read “will change your browsing experience.” How many software programs have claimed that in the past? But, darn if it isn’t true!!! I’ve been using the Chrome extension for Evernote now for about a week and I find myself clipping pretty much anything that looks interesting and I want to read later. And, unlike bookmarks, I find myself actually reading them later on my iPhone!!!

Thanks, evernote, great extension!!!

I second Marty’s comment — excited about a Firefox extension.

I’m having the same problem as the last 2 comments. All I see in the web clipper is the history not how to actually clip a page. What am I doing wrong?

Is the extension really a script that will work in Greasemonkey within Firefox? If so, please provide a download link. Waiting impatiently for the Firefox extension.

OMG, I feel better now. I noticed the feature today and wondered what I was doing wrong. It was suddenly different. The one suggestion I have would be an added tab that tells me how to get back to the clipper window I expected. I know now that I just tap or click on the tab top again to get the referenced note pages to go away, but it took some discovery to figure that out. Yup, Evernote keeps getting better. You guys are an inspiration.

After installing the Evernote Chrome Extension, using windows+a to clip directly into the Windows version of Evernote no longer works. Right now, I can’t get the clipping panel to pop up anymore, and the print screen shortcut doesn’t work either. Do you know why this is happening? Is there a setting somewhere I need to adjust, or do I have to uninstall the Chrome extension or reinstall the Windows version?

Very interesting functionality – it has convinced me to give Chrome another look. Cool extension.

As far as votes for other browsers, I would love to see a similar extension for Safari 5.

Keep up the great work. I’m reading Gordon Bell’s book on your recommendation, and this fits right in with his vision.

This is a neat feature, but there are a few things that could be improved.

Although the notes seem to be correctly grouped when the Site Memory tab is presented, the label of the tab is very unhelpful for UK sites. The label is “co.uk” for the Site Memory Tab for amazon.co.uk and also for aldi.co.uk and, I presume this will happen for all UK sites. I guess the algorithm for working out the tab name does not recognise that co.uk is a high-level domain and not a website.

I cannot see a way of deleting a note directly from the Site Memory Tag – which would be so useful to get rid of notes that have outlived their usefulness.

Finally, and rather seriously, I have been getting a lot of “Sorry, Evernote cannot clip this entire page. Please select the portion you wish to clip.” messages for a number of websites, and whatever I select I keep getting the same message – I am unable to clip anything. Is this related to the new version of the Evernote extension?

Very nice feature (Site Memory).

One thing that would be nice is if the view of Site Memory could be expanded. For example:
- A way to resize the pop-up window or open the note browser in a full Chrome tab
- Or (better, I think), provide a link to a filter that will bring up all the notes from this site on the main Evernote site

I think either of these would make the viewing of Site Memory more useful because you’d be able to dig around in the old notes a bit easier, maybe move somethings around, add some tags, etc..

I know that clicking on one of the notes brings you to the full view of that note, but I think it would be helpful to have a full page of the notes for the site (editable) easily available.

Thanks again for all the hard work on this and the other Evernote products!

Have never used chrome but have very good results using Firefox as well as windows’s standard internet browser. Wondering if evennote is compatible with either by now.

The capture is not accurate if the site uses js to render things. It would be great, if we can select the site to be save as html or plain image, cause sometimes you don’t care about the content, but the look of the page.

With the printscreen method of the desktop aplication you have to select an specific area, and if the page is longer than the visible area, you can’t capture it.

So, it would be great, that in both, you can choose to captura FULL page or specific area.

The site memory idea is great! congrats! I’m just starting with evernote, and I’m addicted to it, I have the desktop, firefox, chrome and Android versions.

This is great! I like it.
However, it takes longer than before to save the clips. And when I touched the browser during this extension was saving a clip, the saving process didn’t finish properly, and clip information remained. When I tried to clip a new one, the old info stayed in the window and could not be changed. I could resolve the situation by saving the old clip again. I don’t know if this is happening only to me, but happened to both my home and work machines.

This feature does really change the way I think about/use the web clipper… Nice!

Been annoyed with some Firefox situations lately and been curious to see if Chrome would please me since it has add-ons now. Congratulations, you’ve convinced me. This sounds awesome.
