Chrome Extension

A companion extension that improves screenshot quality for the web widget.

SnagRelay Helper is a small Chrome extension that improves screenshot capture for sites already running the web widget. It has no UI of its own — it just gives the widget a better way to take a screenshot when it's installed.

This is not a standalone bug reporter

Without the SnagRelay widget script on the page, the extension does nothing. It's a capture-quality upgrade, not a replacement for installing the widget.

Install

  1. Install SnagRelay Helper from the Chrome Web Store (link available on your Project's Capture Tools tab).
  2. Reload any page that already has the SnagRelay widget installed.
  3. The next time someone opens the widget, it automatically detects and uses the extension for capturing — no visible change in the UI.

How it works

The widget and extension communicate directly (via chrome.runtime.sendMessage, using an externally-connectable extension ID) — there's no content script running on every page. When the extension is available, the widget asks it to capture the visible tab at full quality instead of falling back to its built-in DOM-to-image capture.

Browser support

Chromium-based browsers only — Chrome, Edge, and Brave. On Firefox, Safari, or without the extension installed, the widget automatically falls back to its built-in screenshot method, so reporting still works everywhere; it's strictly a quality upgrade where supported.

Prompting reporters to install it

You can enable an in-widget install prompt from the Capture Tools tab of Project Setup — it's a small, dismissible banner shown to Chrome/Edge/Brave users who don't have the extension yet.
