Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Nimbus Screenshot

  • Nimbus Web has rebranded to FuseBase; nimbusweb.me now redirects to thefusebase.com, and the screenshot tool sits inside a broader client portal and AI workspace product
  • No Nimbus-branded pricing, plan or storage limit remains published at the original domain
  • The destination product is positioned around client portals, AI agents and project management rather than a standalone screenshot extension

Privacy Badger

  • It is not an ad blocker; the project states its aim is to prevent non-consensual tracking rather than to block ads
  • There is no Safari build, and Safari on iOS lacks extension capabilities Privacy Badger needs to work
  • Chrome on Android does not support extensions, so Android users have to switch to Firefox or Edge
  • Protection is aimed at third-party trackers and does not comprehensively cover tracking by the site you are actually visiting
