In the case that you'd need to capture entire webpage including ad banners and/or sidebars if any, just highlight all contents in the webpage by selecting [Edit - Select all] menu item or press Ctrl/Command+A before capturing. Note that banners and sidebars usually use complicated scripts, tricks and/or advanced layout settings, that may not fully be captured and could make a mess of layout in the captured contents.

Removed the 'confirm' modal window, as it is incompatible with those iframes with no 'allow-modals' permission.

Bugfix: Ajax with certain websites, it may produce error messages in console.log: SyntaxError: The URI is malformed. Now it tries to send fully qualified URIs.

This is a rewrite of the Webcollect addon based on the new WebExtension API.
