Surfing
Introduction
An Obsidian plugin that allows you to browse the web within Obsidian using v1.0 tabs.
The core functionality of the plugin, rendering a web view, is greatly influenced by Ellpeck's Obsidian Custom Frames plugin and this plugin wouldn't have be possible without it.
TODO
- Support extensions
- Support custom CSS
- Support custom JS
Feature
- Core Feature
- Browse arbitrary web pages: The plugin hijacks Obsidian's file, http, https protocols, enabling links to be opened directly in Obsidian, rather than in external browsers. Yes, local HTML and other resources are also supported.
- Editor web search: You can select keywords in the editor and then right-click to open them in web-browser and search using the default search engine.
- In-page web search: Again, you can right-click within a web page to use the default search engine search.
- Copy links pointing to highlights: As with the browser, you can select text and copy the links pointing to it.
- Use BookmarkLets in your browser to open the URL directly in Obsidian.
- Copy video timestamp (experimental feature: currently only bilibili is supported): right click on the text to pop up the menu to copy the timestamp, currently there are some bugs, it is known that sometimes the menu does not pop up.
- Auxiliary Feature
- Open current URL with external browser: right-click menu
- Default search engine: setting item
- Default copy highlighted template: setting item (currently only supports very simple templates), please avoid using some special characters
- Support browsing history: Jump back and forth to the page

- All links are opened in the same panel on the right: Settings

Usage

The plugin registers an Obsidain uri protocol that allows you to open eb-broswer in Obsidian using the
URL obsidian://web-open?url=<url>. Where <url> refers to the web address link.
Match bookmarklets will be able to click a bookmark in the browser to open
the current browser URL within Obsidain.
- Open the
Open URL In Obsidian Weboption in the plugin settings. - Under this option there is a link of bookmarklets, drag this link into your browser's bookmark bar. You can also click this link(will copy bookmarklets code), then create bookmarklets by yourself.
- Now you can click on the bookmark to open the current page of your browser in Obsidian.
