Bill—you’re right, the result depends on what one does. I usually use an app’s services for clipping—so the “Send to Bear” and “Add Text as Curiota Note” do not capture the source URL, while the DEOVNthink “Take Rich Note” service does. But, as you point out, Bear’s toolbar clipping tool does offer the option to save the URL.

I have experimented with http://myclibu.com/ and found it useful. It is currently in beta and free. The author is quite well known on this forum.

Wow - my main takeaway from this thread is that I really need to get myself a Mac and lock myself in a room for a couple of weeks for some serious crimping :)
Re Clibu: I had tried it back in 2014 (my login still worked, and I saw my notes from then).
It is fast and has some great formatting features. No native apps but that’s not a dealbreaker as long as the website works great on mobile browsers, which I haven’t tried yet. No offline access, but for me that’s not a dealbreaker either.
No sharing or group features that I can see. To me that’s a plus - it shows that they are not getting distracted with team features when what I want is a personal knowledge manager.
However, I tried the Web clipper on a couple of sites and could not get satisfactory results. That’s a dealbreaker for me. On the plus side, the web clipper interface is very full-featured - allows you to clip a selection of content and assign tags and notebooks and add additional descriptions right in the clipper. If the clipping worked better, it would be a serious contender.
Additionally, if Clibu wants to capitalize on the abandonment of Evernote, it would be great if they developed an Evernote import tool. But I realize that may not be worth the potentially very high development cost.

Just for the record, Clibu has an offline version (Clibu op) which I’ve been using for a while. Not yet bug-free, but Neville is, as ever, very responsive to bug reports and feature requests.
