I agree with the original poster. I use the Web Clipper a lot, and always add tags. I sometimes add notes. I use OmniFocus for tasks, and do not want this new feature, yet now every time I save something I now catch myself starting to click the Tasks area when what I really want is to add tags.
The irony is that my subscription doesn't even include the Tasks feature. If I wanted to use them I would have to upgrade my subscription. It's really irritating that I can't just turn off the feature.
Added: part of my irritation is that I've just found out that my annual subscription payment will be going from $34.99 in 2022 to $49.99 this year (a 43% increase), and instead of making a 43% improvement in the usability or speed they seem to just be putting junk in my way.
