User Reviews

Users find Obsidian Clipper useful and handy for saving web content as markdown to Obsidian, appreciating its clean clipping especially without images. However, multiple users report issues with setup complexity, requiring specific vaults and plugins, and usability problems like no direct extension icon, clipped pages being blank or truncated with images, and leftover opened tabs after clipping. While promising, the add-on suffers from stability and user experience challenges according to several reviews.

Is Obsidian Clipper Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Obsidian Clipper requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
