    It could be so useful if only the metadata (url etc.) and the highlighted text were saved to obsidian. Instead, always the complete page is saved, including even videos. No need for this.

    Have you tried changing your template to only include the content you want?

    Response to Developer - Thanks for getting back to me. I have gotten it working, it seems, by switching from the AppImage to the DEB version. Once I'd done so, I tested and the clippings seemed to be working again. I'm curious as to why that is, what's different between the AppImage and the DEB, other than maybe sandboxing?

    Anyway, yes, seems to be working, and thanks for looking into it for me.

    Update: Installed DEB version of Obsidian. Clipper now working correctly. Seems to NOT work with AppImage (Ubuntu 24.04).

    ***

    Doesn't work. Clicking extension brings up "Open Vault" window. Nothing is saved. Verified that default folder exists (it does). Tried changing folder (no). Tried changing vault (no). Tried changing to FF Nightly (no difference). Nothing works. Has worked in past, but no longer. Giving up.

    Can you confirm that the latest instruction for Web Clipper on Linux worked for you? If yes, it would be great if you can update your rating. Thank you!
