This was my goto, but had to remove it because of the annoying little notification that tells me I have autoloading CSS Pinned ruins some of our screen captures. It shows on every refresh for whatever reason. Which it would just stay docked to the extension icon. If you don't need to load any local CSS and screen record at the same time, then this is for you though.
