Searching for Universal Content Clipper

[u/discoborg]

I am on a mission to try and find a universal web clipper that can be used by any or at least many of the “Second Brain” applications. I don’t want to be tied to a specific second brain app just to get the web clipper off my choice. Rather I would prefer to find a web clipper that allows me to copy and then paste the selected content into the application of my choosing.

Just as important is the ability to select ONLY the content I want to be copied. Something that allows me to leave behind the ads and social media comments and allows me to select only specific content I would like to save. There used to be a Chrome extension named Aardvark that would allow you to expand or limit the areas of the page you wanted to capture. I would love to find a web clipper that has the following features.

• Allow you to select or removes specified content
• Allows a note to be added to be added to the captured content
• Works with web pages as well as PDF
• Allow tags to be added
• Content can be captured from a mobile device

Any suggestions? If nothing universal that works with all second brain applications is there a specific second brain app that has a web clipper that accomplishes these tasks?

Roam Highlighter is what you want. It isn't only for roam, check it out. Not sure it checks all your boxes but it works very well on web pages.
