Performance

This plugin is designed for high performance.

Every image has been meticulously optimized, with most displayed in SVG format.

Some icons are adaptive to the Base color scheme and will automatically adjust their highlight color accordingly.

Installation

Use the BRAT to install this plugin.

1. Install BRAT Obsidian plugin
2. Use BRAT: Plugins: Add a beta plugin for testing command to install a new plugin
3. Enter moziar/obsidian-external-links-icon on the popup window
4. Enjoy

Setting

By default, both URL Scheme and WebSite icon are enabled. You could disable any of them via the Style Setting plugin.

There are two different Obsidian icons to help users better distinguish between Obsidian web links and note links.

Obsidian Note Link icon is disabled by default. You can enable either internal link, external link, or both, or disable them entirely — it all depends on your workflow.
