Chrome VPN Extension With 100k Takes Screenshots Of Every Site You Visit - article post

Cool, it seems to work in Vivaldi too. But you can’t actually configure it, weird. And I also don’t exactly know what it does, my guess is that it won’t block extensions from making screenshots.

Yep, I can still take Google Chrome screenshots without issues, both with the screenshot extension I currently use, the Print key or a external app for taking screenshots (Greenshot)
Reading the Google Chrome documentation it seems that it blocks the screenshot capture when a website prompt the users to select a tab, window or desktop to capture, maybe for a videocall conference or for remote desktop access (i.e. TeamViewer) and it requires user intervention to accept or decline, but some users have complained that the message “Google Chrome is capturing your screen” appeared even without their intervention.
