Saving Web Articles (Clipper)

Save reading material from the web directly into your vault, stripped of annoying ads, banners, and clutter.

The Web Clipper Extension

When you read a great blog post or news article, bookmarks often get forgotten. The DaVinci Web Clipper extension (for Chrome, Brave, and Firefox) saves the full article as a clean text note inside your vault. Photos are saved locally too, so even if the website goes down, your copy remains safe forever!
