  1. How I measure this? Easy. For example when trying to clip an article from the NYTimes it just took more than 10 seconds and a spinning symbol (not the Mac beachball, in the clipper UI) just for my notebook categories to load in the webclipper. And that is simply wayyyy longer than it used to, and I have not made any changes to my system in the meantime. So, yeah, absolutely, it is totally possible that this is just up to very specific details of my setup only and does not replicate for others. But at this point, user "PinkElephant", I don't see the usefulness in engaging with your comments any more. (Not the first time you simply cannot let it stand that others have a different user experience). I guess if I handed you book where you could only turn a page after a 10 second wait or a desk drawer with the same delay you'd find a way to rationalize that, too. After all, you never turn the *same* page twice, don't we all know it.
  2. Reviving this thread: so according to the information in my activity monitor the webclipper now runs natively on Apple silicon. Great! However: it runs *slower* than before. How is that even possible? Is anybody noticing this? For the life of me I cannot understand how the Evernote team can allow such a crucial aspect of the user experience to get slower. (If you want to keep paying customers on your platform, make ingesting new data easier and faster, not slower ...)
  3. And Web clipper performance has recently gotten way worse on Mac. I am running a machine with M1 chip and 16 gigs of RAM, so single core performance and memory are not an issue. And after an update (not sure exactly when, december-ish) it takes wayyyyyyyy longer than usual for the web clipper panel to be usable (my tags etc. showing up). Frankly I am unable to mobilize understanding for this kind of backwards movement in usability. The web clipping process needs to be as zippy as possible. And if you can't get it faster ... okay. But don't slow it down from where it already was!
  4. M1has an about 70 percent faster Single core speed than a Windows laptop (that isn't current generation Intel). So you bet it should make a difference. Look, I get that you are happy with the performance of the web clipper, neither am I claiming the performance is abysmal. But just *opening* the web clipper (not synchronizing, just getting the clipper window to show up) should be instantaneous. And if the clipper were native and did not have to run via Rosetta emulation, it'd sure be faster. Also, Evernote webclipper is literally the last and only app on my Mac that needs Rosetta. Everything else made the transition.
  5. "To be fair the clipper doesn't have to do much, so performance isn't really an issue." On my M1 Air with 16 gb of RAM it takes 'one Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi" for the Webclipper to launch. I save about a dozen clips a day – I'm not saying the clipper is 'slow as molasses' or anything, just pointing out that it could be a lot snappier. Would also benefit Evernote as a company to make ingesting data into the database as quick and effortless as possible. The switch to a native codebase for the app as such was a huge improvement, for which I am thankful. I'd have ditched Evernote (reluctantly, because of the hassle of switching / migrating the database with all my tags ect.) if they had not come out with a native version at some point. If Evernote could further improve the overall speed of the 'harvesting' process, I'd appreciate it even more.
  6. Dear Evernote-Team, any news regarding a native webclipper? Appel Silicon is here to stay and the clipping action (just summoning the webclipper when pressing the icon in the menu bar (or using keyboard shortcut, as I do many times a day) would be a lot improved if it got speedier. I don't see why the webclipper shouldn't pop up without (almost any) delay on machines as fast as M1 and M2 Macs. Thanks and all the best!
  7. @agsteele, you are raising a good point (I don't know the answer either), but here's hoping a native (Rosetta-free) extension is even possible, and forthcoming at some point!
  8. Well, it could certainly load up and perform the task quicker. I find myself waiting for the web clipper to do its thing quite a bit. Considering the overall speed of the M1 and modern SSDs there's no reason why it should not be bordering on instantaneous. I am not saying the current situation is 'slow as molasses' or anything, just pointing out that going via Rosetta instead of natively does make it slower and less efficient.
  9. Credit where credit is due: it took a long while, but I am happy so far with the M1 version of Evernote. Startup is way faster now, makes Evernote SO much more usable. Am very glad, as I was about to jump ship and switch to something else, but was not looking forward to the cumbersome transition process. One wish remaining: please update the Web Clipper extension for Safari and make it run native, too. Thanks for the work!
  10. I agree wholeheartedly with the previous thread participants: PLEASE come out with a native Apple Silicon version of Evernote already. Get at least the web clipper ported to native for starters, but give us SOMETHING that shows a M1-version is forthcoming. I'm just about out of patience at this point and am seriously considering ditching Evernote. Saying this as a paying customer for many, many years.
