Our Safari Web Extension allows users to send HTML or CSS to Kaleidoscope, for a visual text comparison. With the current API we are able to send the HTML or computed CSS of an element via context menu action to Kaleidoscope. We also provide a javascript function, so developers can send any textual content to the app over the Web Inspector Console Command Line: > ksdiff($0.innerHTML) It would be great if we could also provide image comparison in a similar manner like: > ksdiff(inspector.screenshot($0)) 1846061 1 webkit-bug-importer 2022-02-25 09:55:44 -0800 <rdar://problem/89479439> 1869238 2 gsnedders 2022-05-16 08:50:19 -0700 See also https://github.com/whatwg/console/issues/160 with regards to adding screenshot to the Console spec; we'd want to propose/discuss something like this there as well. One option would be to just make it return something like a blob URL and then auto-magically show that in the Console.
