Bug Report Screenshot ("the extension") is a Chrome browser extension that helps developers and QA engineers compose bug reports from the page they are currently viewing.
Summary
The extension does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any user data. Everything it captures stays on your device.
What the extension processes locally
When you click the toolbar action on a tab, the extension reads — entirely within your browser — the following from that tab:
- A screenshot of the currently visible viewport
- The page URL and document title
- Recent uncaught JavaScript errors and unhandled promise rejections (up to 50 entries, captured in-memory only while the tab is open)
- Recent failed network requests (HTTP status ≥ 400, network errors, and resource-load failures, up to 50 entries, captured in-memory only while the tab is open)
- Browser user agent, operating system, viewport dimensions, and the current timestamp
This information is assembled into a bug report and shown to you in a new tab where you can annotate the screenshot. When you click "Copy & Download", the report is written to your clipboard and a zip file is saved to your Downloads folder.
What the extension does NOT do
- It does not contact any remote server. There is no backend.
- It does not include any analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, or A/B framework.
- It does not read cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, form fields, passwords, or keystrokes.
- It does not record video or mouse movement.
- It does not run in background tabs you have not interacted with via the toolbar action.
- It does not transmit screenshots, errors, or any other captured data anywhere off your device.
