User reviews
As other reviewers have noted, this clipper works very well. It is simple to use and easily managed. It clips the URL of a page and also allows a note to be added. It's very like Google Keep in style. It does not copy page contents - there are other clippers that do that (and do you really want to fill your writing space with screeds of web content?). For me, when writing something on a specific topic, it's great to have just the links and perhaps a note or two placed directly into an Obsidian vault where I can then follow up. A nice tool. Limitation: in its present form you can only assign a vault to save a link via the options. Might be easier/quicker to be able to do this in the clipper interface because I sometimes want to put links in different vaults.
