I’m using the recently released Obsidian Web Clipper in Chrome browser extension.
Obsidian Version 1.7.5 (Installer 1.4.14) and Chrome Version 130.0.6723.117 (Official Build) (arm64).
I use the default plugin for articles and Youtube template shared in GitHub - kepano/clipper-templates: Obsidian web clipper templates for various sites. to try it out.
The Web Clipper interface populates with the header, properties and note content.
When I " add to Obsidian", the title gets created in Obsidian , but no properties and note content.
After multiple tries, one time it created the article , but if I do send it again from the web clipper, the title gets appended to title 2, but does not bring in the properties and note content.
This happens with the default and YT templates. I tried some community templates for Youtube with transcripts. I have the same issues.
Is there any setting in browser, ,which I have missed?
Is there any setting in Obsidian which allows creation of the note woith properties and note content,
This appears a bit strange considering that I’m running the MacOS and Chrome on the latest version.
Have you tried using a different browser? It’s best to stay away from closed-source browsers like Chrome and shady companies like Google. On the Chromium side, you could try Brave or the Firefox-based Zen Browser. These are freesoftware browsers.
I’ve been testing the clipper on Chrome, Arc and Safari (and very briefly on Firefox I think) without encountering such issues (and without having to touch the browser settings (not that I can remember at least )
I tried with Chrome and Safari. The details of the web article populates in the clipper settings but does to transfer in full to Obsidian.
Such a nice tool, but unable to use it.
it will be good if the author of web clipper can write down all dependencies which are essential to run this tool like : iOS , Obsidian, Chrome, safari versions and any settings which are essential.
I cannot understand how it works for one and not for another when the web clipper is a browser extension and I’m running on the latest browser versions on Chrome(Version 130.0.6723.117 (Official Build) (arm64)) and Safari (Version 18.0.1)
Obsidian current version: v1.7.5 Installer v1.7.5

I didn’t had much to do to make the Clipper work to be honest (on Mac, iPhone, iPad… and the various browsers I used to test the Clipper)
It could be helpful if you could show where you’re stuck, more precisely …
I mean, on Mac (Big Sur & Sequoia 15.1), all I did for Chrome & Arc was installing the extension from the Chrome Web Store, enable it and give it the very few permissions it requires to be able to clip the content of a web page …
For Safari, on Mac, iPhone, iPad, I just downloaded the Safari extension from the App Store and enabled it …
For each browser, all I did then, in the settings of the extension, was adding a vault where the clippings should go (under the General section of the settings of the extensions) which you can access by clicking on the “cog” icon at the top right of the Clipper’s window …
(This is from the Clipper on Arc using the default template )
After installing & enabling it on every browser, I might have reloaded/refreshed the webpage I wanted to clip (either using Cmd + R or Cmd + Shift + R) using the default template coming with the Clipper (at first)
I wouldn’t know …
I voluntarily don’t use emojis in the names of my folders/notes to avoid having to ask myself this precise question and potentially having to spend some time on find a workaround if there’s an issue
