Obsidian doesn't have a profile yet. Request one in #1139 (as already happen https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1139#issuecomment-761523388 and following) or write it yourself.

--noprofile is close to not using firejail at all.

You stay with a pid-namespace and a minimal (hardcoded) blacklist (mostly /proc and /sys). And nnp / disable-mnt if you enforce them in firejail.config.
