Questions about rebuilding GoFullPage BETA - Full Page Screen Capture
How does full-page screen capture work under the hood?
A content script measures total page dimensions, scrolls the window incrementally, triggers chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab at each step, and draws each viewport chunk onto an offscreen canvas.
Can it handle sticky headers and fixed floating bars?
Yes. A custom content script can temporarily set fixed and sticky CSS positioning to hidden during the scroll cycle so they don't duplicate across stitched segments.
Does this require any external backend or API keys?
No. The entire capture, canvas stitching, and file generation pipeline executes locally inside your browser runtime.
