Notion's bulky square view makes it hard to browse many notes, and pasted text from Google AI Overview loses hyperlinks.

Notion defaults to a card/square view for databases, which is inefficient for scanning many items; list view exists but may not be default or easily accessible. Also, clipboard paste from Google's AI overview strips hyperlinks, forcing manual re-linking.
