It depends whether you just want plain text or you also need to capture formatting, images and web page elements, incl. time stamp and URL.

For plain text, the quickest way probably is to use an outliner that has a clipboard capture feature, so upon hitting CTRL+C the selected text is automatically pasted into the software. I just use NoteTab for that (in case any further cleaning up is needed, such as joining broken lines) and then paste the snippets into position into whatever outliner I’m using.

As for the latter, it’s still Surfulater for me.
