What did you expect to happen?
I expect footnotes to be displayed too.

URLs where the bug occurs

To reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to any blog powered by https://mataroa.blog (i gave 2 exmples)
  2. Open Readability

Initially I opened this bug in https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-clipper/issues/293, but that extension uses readability to parse the web pages, so i am opening this bug here too.
