Tagging is the single most important part of the web clipper. It should be at the top. Instead, it's pushed down not just to the bottom, but partially below the bottom, so it's no longer usable at all... this so you can use two vertical lines for a "task" feature that Evernote absolutely doesn't need at all, and a list of seven different vertically-stacked "formats" which must be displayed at all times of which no more than 2 are even useful. If I have to mark something for a task, I'll use a tag. Or, would have, except that you've now made tags unusable. Look at the below. I have a bunch of Politics category tags to choose from. Except, oh, wait, now when I type "politics", the popup menu containing them is OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN SO I CAN'T SEE IT OR SELECT FROM IT. I can't scroll to it. Changing the "view" size setting to make things smaller affects the underlying page, but not the web clipper. There is nothing I can do. Am I supposed to just have all my tags memorized so I can always remember them to type them in manually? No thanks. Congratulations, you've finally negated the entire reason I subscribe to evernote, by making the web clipper 100% unusable. Enjoy your useless "Task" feature. I hope it was worth destroying what to some people was the single most important feature of evernote for. As soon as I figure out how to get my notes out of evernote and into a format something else can read, I will be cancelling my subscription after well over 10 years as a premium subscriber. Without being able to tag things as I do web research by selecting from my existing tags, Evernote as a whole is now 100% useless to me and the money I spend on it is totally wasted.

IPhone Safari doesn’t have that setting. I’ve now wasted a half hour trying to fish out an important price of info that’s locked in evernote. I don’t have 200 MB free on my phone right now. This really is the final insult. If Evernote thinks I’m going to let them control whether or not I can get to my information from a browser they’re crazy. I’m switching. Enough is enough.

I, too just made this fat-fingered mistake, removed a tag from a ton of research notes, and because I had searched on the tag which was just deleted they immediately disappeared from view, so I could not re-tag them with it, or even find them all again. I don't have a second computer with Evernote on it, and, it synced immediately to the web, destroying any hope of disconnecting and salvaging years of work via the website. I have, however, found a 100% effective solution going forward, which doesn't require me to interrupt my work to remember to make frequent manual backups: Switch to an online-synced note taking app that takes users' work needs seriously and doesn't leave inexcusable, work-destroying bugs like this in its product unfixed even as users complain over and over about this same issue for over 7 years. Presto! Problem solved. Goodbye, Evernote, you've finally lost me for good. This is inexcusable. There should be NO for way a single wrong keyclick to permanently destroy years of organizational work, without any 'undo' feature, especially the better part of a decade after users first complained about it. At least, not in a professional note-taking app.

Count me another Firefox user and longtime Evernote user who is really wondering what I'm paying Evernote for at this point, since I can't clip most pages that I want to save. Evernote, if you're trying to lose a customer, you're doing it very well. Way to show your paying users you simply don't care about them.

Hey, Evernote Staff, it's 2019, this problem is still frequent. Do you have any plans to fix it, or is the idea that we're supposed to keep paying you for software that doesn't work?
