In their own words
Freezetab
Freezetab saves and organizes links, articles, RSS and Atom feeds, and quotes from websites. Saved articles can be edited in a rich text editor, and content can be highlighted and searched in full text. Filters for time period, tags, sites, and data type help narrow a collection. It is available as a browser extension, on iOS, and on the web; an iOS or iPadOS shortcut can save links and quotes. The free extension supports local use without an internet connection and can be used without logging in, with data kept on the user's machine. Privacy controls let users mark saved data private so it is not sent to Freezetab’s servers, or enable privacy mode for new saves. Freezetab Pro adds cloud backup, syncing across browsers and devices, web access, saving links without the extension, and mobile link saving. Pro costs $2.99 a month after a 7-day free trial. Freezetab says its security measures include HTTPS, firewalls, IP allowlists, VPNs, and encrypted backups. Stripe handles billing information; Freezetab says card numbers and security codes are not stored on its servers.
