A working org-protocol capture extension (Firefox only)

Optionally, capturing a selection will capture the HTML itself. You'll want to use this with something like org-protocol-capture-html to translate the HTML to org mode.

Seems very useful in tandem with org-protocol-html, a web annotation tool. This is not something you can do with hypothes.is (most poplar web annotation tool). +1 for emacs.

Converting a web page to Org mode to include in my notes
4 projects | /r/orgmode | 1 Jun 2023

For Firefox, I fancy https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copy-as-org-mode/ which works fairly good. I rarely need whole pages, I mostly extract snippets from web pages.
