Save a full page

Right-click anywhere on a page (without selecting text) and choose Save Page to Obris. The extension captures the full page content along with the page URL and title.

Topics

Every saved item goes into a topic. The extension remembers your last-used topic for convenience.

  • Switch topics: Click the topic selector on the floating button or in the topic picker modal.
  • Create a topic: Type a name in the "New topic" field inside any topic selector. The topic is created instantly and selected.
  • Single topic auto-select: If your account has only one topic, it is selected automatically.

Topics you create from the extension appear immediately in the Obris app and are accessible to any expert that includes them.

What gets saved

When you save content, the extension sends:

  • Selected text or full page HTML (depending on the save method)
  • Page URL: the source URL of the page
  • Page title: the document title

All saved content is associated with your Obris account and the topic you selected. Any expert that includes that topic will have access to the content immediately.

Privacy

The extension only accesses page content when you explicitly save something. It does not track your browsing, collect analytics, or send data in the background.
