What HN said

Objections

  • Unclear who the audience is, since screenshots are easy to take

    From 1 comment
    • I don’t get it. Who is this for? Who has the ability to edit their own existing image into this but doesn’t have the ability to make a screenshot?

  • Chromium shell may carry license restrictions on its assets

    • Wouldn't this be subject to the chromium license terms since it's using their copyrighted assets?

  • Chromium shell looks busy in screenshots; Safari preferred

    From 1 comment
    • I personally find the Chromium shell too busy and distracting in screenshots of websites. Usually opt for a standard Safari shell for such things.
