Web clipper + Safari = open in app dialog

Hi all,

I just installed Obsidian Web Clipper extension for Safari on both Mac and iPhone.

When I activate the clipper on both platforms, it grabs the content but when I click “Add to Obsidian” before it can add the clip Safari throws a dialog box "Do you want to allow this website to open “Obsidian.app?” with options to Cancel or Allow.

1.) This is a huge pain to have to deal with this dialog box every single time.
2.) At the very least, if we had to see that dialog box popup at all, it would be great if there was an Always Allow option so at least we only had to see it once.
3. This same behavior happens on both Mac and iOS.

Is there a setting I can tweak to stop this? Is this something with the extension? Or is this some overly safe safety feature built into Safari that we can’t do anything to change?

If anyone can help, I’d be eternally grateful.

P.S. FWIW, I also installed the clipper extension in Chrome and Chrome asks one time if I want it to open the app, when I say yes, it stops asking. This is how I would expect it to work in Safari, but noooooooo…
