What comes with a report#

The screenshot, your spots (with the page element each one is on), the page address and title, your screen size and browser, and any errors that happened after you clicked the button: JavaScript errors, failed requests, and console errors and warnings.

What the extension can see#

It only runs on the page you click it on (the activeTab permission). It does not read pages in the background, has no analytics, and sends nothing until you press Send.

It can't run on browser pages (such as chrome://) or on the extension stores.
