Hi @blue-moves - There is the 3rd party plugin “Search on internet” which opens up a pane next to your note where you can search either Google or Wikipedia. Also you can add other websites to use for your search.
It’s not a full fledged browser pane -yet- as it doesn’t have an address bar, but you can visit the links Google or Wikipedia finds for you and drag in images and videos and pieces of text.
Looks like this:
There is no back-button, so if you want to search again, you will have to initiate another search, you can assign a hotkey for that. But for me personally, that is cumbersome, so I use the solution below and run Obsidian and Chrome in split-screen mode, side by side.
Maybe you can contact the author of the plugin and ask him if he is willing to try to extend his plugin to do what you would like it to do ? His name is Emil van Krieken. The plugins repository is here.
If you’re on a Mac - just split screens and have both Obsidian and your browser run side by side. Drag and drop works fine this way. Beats having an iframe solution and is, I think, as fast as having a browser pane. You don’t even sacrifice screen space that much. I’m on a tiny MacBook Pro and if I collapse the left and right pane in Obsidian, I have ample space for the note I’m working on. I’s have to do that too, if the browser were in a pane. Because my MacBook screen is just that small.
