Yes Omnivore is gone so today we’re going to take a look at 3 other options for saving articles to read later.
My biggest issue with all of them is how poorly they handle YouTube content. If you’ve got other options I should look at I’d love to hear about them.

So far the Obsidian clipper works best for me… grabbing the transcript if opened onYouTube.
So far the major issue has been clipping from some social media, rather than just the ‘post’ and its comments it regularly grabs about 10 posts and other garbage.
Glasp works OK too and a little like Onmivore, you can do some highlighting and comments – at the web article first, then export to MD… but currently the Glasp tags aren’t being recognised as tags in Obsidian.
Might want to take a look at Raindrop.io. Although it is marketed as a bookmark manager, it handles well as a read-later service where it offers plain text previews of articles and stores permanent copies also.
Not sure how it handles YouTube since I don’t use it for that.
Thanks for sharing,
Ray
I’ve heard of it but always as a bookmark manager and didn’t know it did offline copies. Thanks.
