User Reviews

Overall, users praise the add-on for ease of use and clipboard-friendly saves, with the benefit of capturing content beyond screen size. However, reliability varies: screenshots can be black or fail on some content (live/short videos), and updates or adblockers can break it. Additional drawbacks include non-customizable hotkeys, the button only appearing during YouTube playback, and requests for features like subtitles, millisecond timestamps, and proper file-saving support.
Pros
  • Works as advertised / generally reliable when it functions
  • Easy to use / convenient
  • Saves to clipboard for quick pasting
  • Not limited by screen resolution (captures beyond display)
Cons
  • Screenshots sometimes come out black or fail to render
  • Reliability issues with live/short videos and after YouTube updates
  • Adblocker conflicts can break functionality
  • Hotkey is not customizable / default hotkey triggers text
  • Button only appears during YouTube playback and not in the built-in Firefox toolbar
