It's interesting to me that the Page Shot feature allows you to search your captured images by the text in the captured image.

At first I assumed they must be doing some OCR, but then it occurred to me that, since it's a browser addon with full access to the page, they could just grab the text straight from the selected DOM elements.

That's a clever extension of typical screenshot tools.

This is amazing and from what I can tell the extension works great too.

Min Vid worked even with my highly customized YouTube (YTCenter and more).

These are the kinda of features that may make I go back to Firefox. This Min Vid actually looks like a great idea.
Loving these features. Test pilot seems a really nice way to expose some great extensions and then hopefully integrate as default features.

Good work by Mozilla.
