The Open Gate plugin enhances Obsidian by allowing users to embed websites directly within the app's interface. It provides a seamless browsing and note-taking experience by enabling embedded sites to appear in the left, center, or right panel, or even within a note. The plugin supports auto-generated icons from site favicons, embedding of non-iframe-compatible websites, and custom CSS injection for consistent styling with Obsidian. It also functions on mobile, ensuring flexibility for research, study, or general browsing without leaving the app.
