Can PlugThis rebuild Screen Capture & Editor - Go Full Page?

YESYes — you can rebuild this.

Native capture APIs and an HTML5 canvas editor do this with zero telemetry.

Chrome provides standard tab capture APIs that handle visible viewport and stitched full-page screenshots natively. Adding an HTML5 canvas markup editor for crops, arrows, and annotations takes minimal client-side code. Everything runs entirely within the browser without any remote servers.

Questions about rebuilding Screen Capture & Editor - Go Full Page

How does full-page screen capture work in an extension?

The extension scrolls the page incrementally, captures each visible segment using chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab, and stitches the segments together on an HTML5 canvas.

Does this require any external backend or server?

No. The entire capture, stitching, annotation, and export process runs 100% locally inside your browser.

Can I add drawing and text annotations?

Yes. The captured image opens in a canvas editor where you can draw rectangles, arrows, blur sensitive areas, and add text before saving.
