Now and next
Images that load as you scroll
PlannedOn some pages, images that only load once you scroll to them are missing from a full-page capture. The fix lets the page load everything before the capture starts. Until it ships, scrolling to the bottom of the page first usually helps. Follow it on GitHub.
Safari
PlannedNext, now that Edge and Firefox are out. Safari extensions are distributed through Apple’s App Store, so this one takes longer.
Opera
In reviewPageShotter 1.6.0 has been submitted to Opera add-ons as a new listing and is waiting for Opera’s review. Until then, Opera can install it from the Chrome Web Store with Opera’s own helper extension.
Shipped

What we will not build
Uploads, accounts or a cloud library
Out of scopeCaptures stay on your own computer, unless you press Gmail to send one in your own Gmail. A feature that needs your screenshots on a server of ours is a feature PageShotter leaves out.
Standing access to every website
Out of scopeInstalled, PageShotter has no access to any site. It sees a page only when you capture it, and only while it is capturing. Batch capture is the one exception, because capturing a tab you did not click needs it: the browser asks you the first time you start a batch, and one button in Settings takes the access back.
Tracking inside the extension
Out of scopeThe extension makes no network requests of its own: no analytics, no usage data, nothing sent anywhere you did not choose.
