Obsidian is the best Knowledge Management Tool out there and the Team behind the Project is fqing awesome. Ok, it is proprietary software, but the open access to everyone, the update frequence, feature implementation, general service and community should be exemplary for others.

The Web-Clipper is the cherry on the cake.

It took me a little while to figure out how to customize templates with variables and filters (specifically the selector variables), but now that I have that down, the possibilities are endless and endlessly fun! This add-on is extremely useful to me and I will definitely continue to rely on it as part of my Obsidian workflow.

Occasionally buggy but such a useful tool

me gusta!

Response to Developer - Thanks for getting back to me. I have gotten it working, it seems, by switching from the AppImage to the DEB version. Once I'd done so, I tested and the clippings seemed to be working again. I'm curious as to why that is, what's different between the AppImage and the DEB, other than maybe sandboxing?

Anyway, yes, seems to be working, and thanks for looking into it for me.

Update: Installed DEB version of Obsidian. Clipper now working correctly. Seems to NOT work with AppImage (Ubuntu 24.04).

Doesn't work. Clicking extension brings up "Open Vault" window. Nothing is saved. Verified that default folder exists (it does). Tried changing folder (no). Tried changing vault (no). Tried changing to FF Nightly (no difference). Nothing works. Has worked in past, but no longer. Giving up.

Superb functionality and integration of AI. Really, really useful extension to match the outstanding Obsidian note-taking package.

The inability to choose tags when saving makes this a no-go for me. You have to delete the default tag (delete, not deselect) and then manually type in whatever tags you want. If you misspell a tag (btw - no spaces in tags!) you're screwed. I'll go back to Notion. I just wanted a separate app for web clippings since Evernote and Pocket no longer work for this. Maybe someday!
