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.

It was one of the best however now the only thing it screenshot is basically a blank page. especially if you use any of the indicators on it like arrows/text spaces or so. Dont use it.
