anyone have any good tips or plugins so that I can have browser plugins on all my devices and save web pages from multiple devices to it? It's basically the only reason I still use Notion. (As a former emacs guy, I like a lot about Obsidian, most of the plug-in ecosystem, including it saving my data as just text.)
You can use it on a phone as well via Firefox / Safari.
Can you use something like iCloud, Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive to get sync for free? Does it work well? Many do that with Joplin.
I actually combine that, Git and Syncthing for different needs.

As someone paying personally for a commercial license that I use for work, I am not a fan. I like a clear business model otherwise I assume that I am the product being sold. Edit: They should make it open source if this is the path they take. Then users can personally verify that they (or their data) isn't being sold to the highest bidder.
Their model is selling to large companies and sync users. Not data sales.

For my setup, I use the obsidian-livesync [1] plugin with a self-hosted CouchDB instance which has worked well for me.
I periodically do commit things to a git repo as a backup if the live sync breaks somehow.

I synced using Google Drive on the desktop, and a third party app to pull and sync a local directory on my phone for mobile. Took a little bit of setup but it worked mostly fine. Now I run the paid sync subscription, and the main difference to me is that there's basically zero wait between replication across copies (unless your computer has been off for a while and it has to fetch a bunch at once). Eliminating merge…
Easier sync and supporting developer = Win win.

I tried Obsidian Git for automatic pulls, but frequently had file conflicts even if I wasn't working on files at the same time. Is there another sync tool designed for text that has file version history?
This is awesome news for the community. With a built-in multiplayer mode, it would be epic.

The data is local, obsidian is just a markdown viewer at it's core. They have sync but that's a paid for product. Their model is selling to large companies and sync users. Not data sales.

I'm not sure if that's the case now. Why would companies pay for licenses when they're optional and don't give any features?
