A useful webclip contains not only text, but also enough context to find it later. Choose which content you keep and how it is classified in your notes. Check a first clip for unnecessary navigation or missing parts.
Websites differ widely in structure. A template that works on one site does not have to give the same result elsewhere. Do not store confidential page content in a shared collection without checking access to those notes.
Version and updates
Version 1.7.1 (Browser Extension). A possibility has been added to import highlights. New variables pass model and provider of the Interpreter. In addition, errors have been corrected with Anthropic, Gemini and various OpenAI-compatible links, including aborted or unreadable answers.

To keep web information, compare the destination and which data are included. A noteclipper saves text for your own collection; a library tool can also capture source data for citations. Check the result with complex or shielded page dressings.

Our verdict
Web Clipper fits if you want to collect online research in Obsidian. Create a template with title, date and URL so you can post material later. Rather save relevant passages than mindless entire websites. Check the stored note and respect rights of use when sharing it outside your own collection.
