Seems Obsidian Web Clipper is a good alternative, it can save as markdown so you own the data offline. Anyone tried it? What is your experience?

I haven't tried it, but I have used Notion Web Clipper. It works, but the experience is nowhere near the same.

I do use it, on Desktop only. On mobile I still use Pocket only. Actually I use an Obsidian plugin to sync my Pocket saves into Obsidian. That plugin might be a great backup/way-out strategy for Pocket users.

It isn't available on mobile AFAIK, which is like my primary use for pocket etc., saving links to later read on my laptop

I use it pretty extensively. Aside from being a pretty poor experience on mobile (it straight up can't be used on iOS at all, works ok on Android), it's the best web clipper I've used.

I really wish they would integrate the functionality into Obsidian itself, though I think there are technical limitations with it.

Alternative is using iOS share with Obsidian.

I literally just used Obsidian Web Clipper on iOS+Safari.

Obsidian Web Clipper is available on all mobile browsers that support extensions including Safari, Firefox, and some forks of Chrome
