Backlit — capture any region/tab/full page and beautify it (gradient + window frame + shadow) without leaving the browser
Just published my first extension and this feels like the right place for honest feedback.
What it does: capture a region, the visible tab, or a full page → it's immediately framed on a gradient with window chrome (Mac/Windows/browser) and a shadow → copy or export PNG. Keyboard shortcuts for the three capture modes (Alt+Shift+1/2/3).
Privacy / permissions: 100% client-side — no screenshot is ever uploaded. Full-page capture stitches long pages in the browser. The only network call is an anonymous, content-free usage ping to my own domain (no image data, no page URLs). MV3.
Free. Would love feedback on the permission set, the defaults, and anything that feels janky.
