Thank you for your suggestions. I have tried Joplin for cross-platform note taking (Windows,Android,iOS). I did try the clipping option couple of years ago and was not impressed; maybe it has been improved in the meantime. Although Joplin ticks most of the boxes (cross-platform, "own cloud" ie you can use dropbox for sync, rudimentary tags, insert attachments etc) , I just cannot commit myself for using it actively. Maybe it's the lag of the windows (electron) app, or the clumsy editor window.

- Trillium is on my "check-out for CRIMP potential" list, will look into it more closely.
- InfoQube - man this app looks powerful, but I just don't have the time / willpower to get past the initial window. I read a lot about it on this forum, according to the author it can do a lot of useful things, but for me, it didn't succeed to strike the balance between user interface (which should invite you to use it) and its underlying power.
- QOwn Notes: never heard of it, will look into the app.
- Notion: online only the last time I checked, so I will pass. I am "too old school" for that

Thanks again for the suggestions!

You could give Joplin a try (https://joplinapp.org It has a web
clipper which works very nicely and which also cleans and sanitizes the
HTML. It's open source and actively developed, only negative: you can
only have one database, so if you plan to use it also for your personal
notes etc it can become crouded (but works fine for me so far).

Other options (they all have some web clipping features)
Trilium (https://github.com/zadam/trilium
InfoQube and IQOutliner (https://www.infoqube.biz
QOwnNotes (https://www.qownnotes.org
Notion

So far Joplin feels best for me, but all do the job.
