Current tab

Record the browser tab that you're currently in.

What does the "Tab" record exactly mean?

When you start recording using the Tab option from the BetterBugs.io Chrome extension, only the current open tab gets recorded. It does not matter if you have other tabs open. They will not get captured.

Note: The URL address bar, bookmarks bar, and the system toolbar are NOT RECORDED.
