Jon, what's the main pain or goal with capturing a screenshot for every page that you visit?

It's tricky to do on your machine, so that performance doesn't suffer. At the end of the day, all full-page PDF generators would have to scroll to the end of the page, which would make it really tough for you to browse around.

A solution to this would be to just capture the URLs that you visit, and then do the screenshot generation in the cloud. The limitation is that none of your websites with logins would get captured.

Local storage is another issue for Chrome Extensions. There is a limit to how much data that can be stored.



I'm not a programmer so it would need to be easy enough to set up and maintain.

Logged in states are a must have.
