Seems Obsidian Web Clipper is a good alternative, it can save as markdown so you own the data offline. Anyone tried it? What is your experience?


It isn't available on mobile AFAIK, which is like my primary use for pocket etc., saving links to later read on my laptop


Obsidian Web Clipper is available on all mobile browsers that support extensions including Safari, Firefox, and some forks of Chrome

Alternative is using iOS share with Obsidian.


I do use it, on Desktop only. On mobile I still use Pocket only. Actually I use an Obsidian plugin to sync my Pocket saves into Obsidian. That plugin might be a great backup/way-out strategy for Pocket users.


I use it pretty extensively. Aside from being a pretty poor experience on mobile (it straight up can't be used on iOS at all, works ok on Android), it's the best web clipper I've used.

I really wish they would integrate the functionality into Obsidian itself, though I think there are technical limitations with it.


I literally just used Obsidian Web Clipper on iOS+Safari.


I haven't tried it, but I have used Notion Web Clipper. It works, but the experience is nowhere near the same.
