This is an extension to clip websites and download them into a readable markdown file. Please keep in mind that it is not guaranteed to work on all websites.

To use this add-on, simply click the add-on icon while you are browsing the page you want to save offline. A popup will show the rendered markdown so you can make minor edits or copy the text, or you can click the download button to download an .md file. Selecting text will allow you to download just the selected text

Context Menus You can also right-click on pages, images, links and selections to copy or download snippets of Markdown. You can also download all tabs in a window as Markdown files

Obsidian Integration For integration with obsidian, you need to install and enable community plugins named "Advanced Obsidian URI". This plugin help us to bypass character limitation in URL.

这个插件很棒，但是我感觉能做的更好；可能需要维护一个网站的配置文件，对不同的网站进行定制化的配置，实现下载功能。

"This extension is no longer available because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." ??? Are you going to adjust the extension according Google's best practices? Thank you!

I'm very impressed, I use it every single time I need to capture an article or a webpage; in Obsidian, It's clean and formated to my liking, really well done !
