Clarification of the extension permissions:

Read your browsing history - Chrome adds this line when we request tabs manipulation permission. Lightshot opens screenshot in a new tab, that is why we need it.

Было шикарное приложение. Теперь в хроме крайней версии через раз скриншот получается: если добавлял текст или стрелочки, то видно только их, а сайт не видно, просто белый фон. Сохраняю в буфер обмена.
