Web clipper feature: option to automatically clip every page on load

TL;DR - I want to browse and trust that the clipper (& interpreter) are taking notes for me.

Use case or problem

Obsidian Web clipper is great. So great that I’d like the option to have it “clip” every website I visit automatically.

Proposed solution

In the Extension Settings, an option that would be default Off for privacy, but the user could select to have every page automatically clipped on page load.

The one potential complication (which I’ve experienced with Hunchly) is for pages with dynamic content that doesn’t change the URL. So for example, if I’m looking at the X/Twitter homepage feed, it can be tricky to tell the plugin how to add/overwrite the clip when the content changes but the URL doesn’t. I think the feature would be useful even if this were too challenging to solve.

Current workaround (optional)

I am currently evaluating Hunchly as a workaround.

I am also looking into ways I can configure Chrome to “script” Obsidian Web Clipper.

Related feature requests (optional)

Now that the Web Clipper has Interpreter, this would be a very powerful “automatic note-taking” workflow. Basically, I just browse and trust that the clipper & interpreter are taking notes for me.
