Works for me with BRAVE browser. Just make sure you have the latest Brave, Obsidian installed Note you should set up any custom Templates to be used for Daily Note and for Clipping/Article in the OBSIDIAN (app) Clipper settings, not here in the addon.

This doesn't work, at least not on Brave. I tried it six months ago and it didn't work then either, so at least it's consistent.

Не работает. Во всяком случае под Windows.
