User Reviews

Overall, users praise Obsidian Web Clipper as a must-have tool that makes clipping and organizing notes easy, with strong templates and flexible content output. It’s repeatedly seen as essential to Obsidian workflows and to saving time. Reported drawbacks are scattered: in some cases the extension opens a new Obsidian instance rather than reusing one; full-page saves instead of metadata highlights; occasional MathJax formatting issues; and a few bugs around properties. Despite these, the add-on remains highly regarded.

Pros

Essential/must-have for Obsidian users.
Powerful clipping with customizable templates.
Improves workflow and saves time.
High level of customization of content output and properties.

I had to sign up just to write a review. This is the best reader tool available for Firefox. I strongly advise the first thing you do after installing this addon is to change Settings -> General -> Open behavior -> Reader. Now go and "read" an educational video. Thank me later... or better yet, thank them.

I can't live without it, but why is it always so behind from the github versions?

Is Obsidian Web 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 Web Clipper requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

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.

Obsidian Web Clipper is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
