## Description

Screen Recorder is a user-friendly Chrome extension that allows you to effortlessly record your computer screen with just one click. Whether you want to capture your entire screen, a specific window, or browser tab, this addon has you covered. It supports multiple audio options including system audio, microphone, mixed, or no audio.

After you start recording by selecting the desired source, the video is automatically saved in webm format to your default download location. While currently Firefox does not support audio recording due to API limitations, this feature will be added automatically if supported in the future. Screen Recorder is perfect for making tutorials, demonstrations, or saving any on-screen activity quickly and efficiently.

User feedback is mixed: many praise the add-on for being simple and easy to use and for recording visuals in typical scenarios, sometimes viewing it as better than competitors. However, persistent complaints center on missing audio, frequent download-permission errors when saving, reliability problems where the extension won't start or run, and degraded video quality at higher frame rates. One review mentions file location on download, which some users find confusing. Overall, it appears useful for basic use but with notable caveats around audio, saving, and performance.
