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. Because it's using clipboard as the source for creating new file. More information about Advanced Obsidian URI plugin: https://vinzent03.github.io/obsidian-advanced-uri/

You need to do some configurations in order to use this integration.

Steps to follow 1. Left-Click on the extension 2. Click on the gear icon to open the configuration menu 3. Scroll down to "Obsidian integration" section and turn "enable obsidian integration" on. 4. Fill out the form below (Obsidian vault name and Obsidian folder name.) 5. Right-click on the extension and open the menu 6. In "MarkDownload - Markdown Web Clipper", select "Send Tab to Obsidian"

Pricing

This is an open-source extension I made for fun. Its intention is to be completely free. It's free on Firefox, Edge and Chrome (and other Chromium browsers), but unfortunately for Safari there is a yearly developer fee, so I've decided to charge a small price for the Safari version to help cover that cost. Alternately, you can become a GitHub Sponsor for as little as $2 per month and you can request a key for the Safari version. Also, even if you're using the free version and you absolutely have to send me money because you like it that much, feel free to throw some coins in my hat via the following:
