BUG: The screenshot feature does not function correctly on YouTube. When I attempt to take a screenshot, the extension captures the screen from the selected area down to the bottom of page, instead of the designated portion.

The screenshot result has position deviation, which may be caused by the screen DPI scaling of Windows. Hope it can be fixed ❗

Doesn't seem to work completely well on youtube, especially on playlist and channel pages. Otherwise impressive.
