i will add that im exactly in the same situatuon

i use a window manager (i3) on arch linux and have tried almost every solution out there (with FF, chrome etc) with no working method.

i really wish org-protocol had a much simpler way of capturing links,text tec. im not a programmer but to me it seems so complicated. it the past before i was using org i had a simple bash script that yanked links/text from dwb (a simple web browser) and added that to a text file. something like this

#!/bin/bash

# dwb: xtm

task add pro:dl +music $DWB_TITLE $DWB_URI

where the current title+URI of the webpage was added to a text file (task add) command.

would love something simple like that for orgmode

best
