chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab is a very useful feature in the tabs
API. It could conceivably be used to create an extension that
customizes the thumbnails on the new tabs page, or a visualization of
the user's bookmarks.

That being said, it is still not as useful as it could be. In
particular, I would like to capture thumbnails of the visible tab, and
it would be nice to be able to specify the scale of the image I get.
It would be convenient to specify that I want to capture the tab at,
for example, 50% of its original size. This would make it possible to
grab only a thumbnail of the tab.

What was the motivation behind captureVisibleTab, and are there any
plans to extend it to give the extension more control over the image
returned, by, for example, specifying the size? Also, the image it
returns contains the scroll bar as well, which is perhaps not a useful
thing to include.
