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.

very good service.
Было прекрасное расширение. Простое, без всяких лишних функций. А потом что-то произошло и во время скриншота 75% экрана становится белым, в том числе и области, которые мне нужно сохранить (скриншот сделать). Я думаю, это какой-то баг. Переустановка расширение не помогла. Очень жаль.
Genial
