I normally run a https://crxcavator.io/ check on any extension, but cannot because it's free. I'm assuming this is all done locally?

Oh, this seems like HTML-aware stuff, so has it's niche. For others that want to supercharge screenshotting capabilities, look at Greenshot ( https://getgreenshot.org/ ) You can mask whatever you want right away. Torn edges. Highlight. Conveniently set numbers, add text, upload to web and get URL in your clipboard. Or save locally and have File path in your clipboard. By default, When I press print screen, I get the…
When you click to install, it says the extension can "read and change your data on www.googleapis.com". Can't it read and change your data on any site where you invoke it, not just www.googleapis.com? This seems like an interesting conundrum — the only pages where you would invoke it are pages that have information you'd like to keep private. But you're granting the developer of the extension read/write access to the…
I am learning as I go about extensions and building a product in general. So far I am learning mostly from my mistakes as some of it is specific to Chrome Web Store. It would be really great to connect and chat. I will reach out.

Trial licence is implemented using the canonical way provided by Google. This was a big mistake from my side, don't get me started how bad the entire flow is. Google could have solved this with one API call but they chose to leave it to the maker to combine different Google services to achieve this. This is why it needs access to googleapis.com to check for licence. For all other pages, extension uses activetab permi…
Very interesting that the permissions request on install doesn't mention this. I mean, it should be obvious that something that takes screenshots needs to know what it's screenshotting, but the bits about text-scrambling (which I only learned of via the HN discussion) reveal that it needs more access than just the image of the page.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

There are many screenshot tools, Windows OS has probably the most out of the box. But there are very little which would be geared towards web content and HTML manipulation. And hopefully I can provide the best experience by focusing on one niche first.
Are you sure about that?
