Obsidian Web Clipper is a fantastic web extension that has enough variations and uses that I thought it deserved its own page because it can be used without Obsidian at all. The value proposition is simple—Web Clipper is able to turn fancy websites into plaintext versions. This is primarily to get them into Obsidian where you can read them, add notes and wikilinks and whatever else you want.

I use them primarily for articles, but I’ve also used them for things like adding films with the appropriate fields into my vault where I can then take notes on them. I also use it to grab job descriptions and properly format them; you can also use the LLM interpreter to properly format everything for essentially free (using Gemini).

It also recently added a Reader feature which removes the clipping aspect almost completely. If you just want clean pages, Web Clipper can do it. Even if you don’t use Obsidian, it’s definitely an extension I would install on any browser I use.
