Obsidian launched safety scorecards for every plugin, and checking mine changed what I keep installed
A safety check that turned into a cleanup
Obsidian has introduced safety scorecards for all its plugins, and checking these scorecards led the reporter to reassess their installed plugins. The scorecards provide information on a plugin's health, review process, disclosures, and more. The reporter found that some plugins had malware concerns, while others had unresolved review issues.
The scorecards helped the reporter identify and remove unused plugins, resulting in a cleaner setup. The scorecards are available on the Obsidian Community web directory and app's plugin browser, but they only cover code and don't guarantee a plugin's suitability for a specific vault. The safety checks will become mandatory for plugins after October 30, with failing reviews preventing them from being listed or installed.
