Frequently Asked Questions

FireShot requires certain Chrome permissions to enable advanced features such as capturing content across frames, switching between tabs automatically (e.g., when using “Capture all tabs”), saving files, and copying results to the clipboard.

Due to limitations in Chrome’s permissions model, there are no narrowly scoped permissions available for some of these actions. As a result, the extension must request broader permissions that technically allow access to website data. However, these permissions are only used to support the described functionality - FireShot does not read or modify browsing data beyond what is necessary.

Similarly, permissions like “downloads” and “clipboard” are required to save captured content to your device and to copy images or links for immediate use. These capabilities are used strictly for user-initiated actions.

FireShot never changes your data. FireShot does not even need to read your data. All FireShot needs is to be capable of capturing the frame elements and switching your tabs (for capturing all tabs in one click).

FireShot uses the "tabs" permission. You can read more about the Chrome permisions here: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/permission_warnings
