Improvements

A new experimental approach has been added to improve results with the default template. Extractors override the Readability library for popular sites where Readability does not work well. This populates the {{content}} and {{contentHtml}} variables with more useful content. This approach doesn't replace the need for templates but it makes it easier to clip sites that have complex DOM structures that are not easy to parse with templates. So far Twitter (X) and Reddit have been added but PRs are welcomed for other sites.

- Fix issue with modifying {{date}} variable format.

- Reduce flashing of the side panel when transitioning between pages.
- Removed "Early access features" toggle for now, since it has been replaced by the "Legacy mode" toggle to enable features for Obsidian 1.6.7 and below.

Adds "Legacy mode" setting to use Obsidian URI to copy content on browsers and OSes that support it.

Web Clipper now requires Obsidian 1.7.2 or above. Users on older versions of Obsidian will see a message when trying to clip content. The reason is that some browsers and operating systems strictly limit the length of URIs, making it impossible to pass content from a page via this method beyond ~2000 characters. This fails silently which is confusing for many users. As of Obsidian 1.7.2 we can now pass content into Obsidian via the clipboard.

Improved

- `title` filter now works better with arrays and objects.
- Various performance improvements.
