I would just like to be able to choose a new default folder to save the captures!

This is a fantastic tool! I'm wondering if there's a way for the cursor to show when creating automated recordings? I see the cursor in the tutorial video with the manual recording. I'm scared to delete all the automated actions I created to do a manual recording instead, in case I need them again! Thanks for creating this extension 💖.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Scroll Capture requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Captures visible content, which may expose user data displayed on the screen, posing a security threat.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
