## Description

The extension allows you to draw over any part of a webpage and remembers the drawings. It's mainly intended to cover parts of a page that one wants to avoid seeing, like a video subtitle.

It remembers drawings per website, and also has an additional feature for YouTube where it can display the same drawing on every video page from that channel.

Other features include making the drawing stick to the page vs viewport, shortcuts and customizable brush sizes!

Thank you!
