Extension Usage Instructions

                        *UPDATE 13-04-2021*
Added a bit more delay to wait for video/image to load. Sometimes the screen capture happens too early and get a blank image.

*UPDATE 09-04-2021*
Action trigger point changed to the context menu. It's a lot more convenient now. Right click at a tweet to capture.

*UPDATE 15-07-2020*
Made the tweet narrower so the text will be bigger and easier to read, matching with the design on iOS app.

*UPDATE 14-07-2020*
Added function to support tweets which are too long to fit into the screen. The extension will scroll the page down and capture the remaining parts.

After installation, visit a single tweet page, e.g. https://twitter.com/Twitter/status/1274087687469715457
Remember to refresh existing opened twitter pages to activate the extension.

Click at the extension icon on the address bar.
An image will be generated and saved into your clipboard.
You can paste it into Google Slides, Powerpoint or Photoshop etc.

1 known issue: if the screen capture an empty white image, just try again will resolve the problem. (This happens when images load slower than the 0.3 seconds delay)
