Crazy that this approach seems to be the preferred way to do it. How hard would it be to implement the recording in the browser engine? There you could do it perfectly, right?
This is the correct solution. However you'd need someone that knows C++ well, knows Chrome internals, is familiar with video stuff, audio stuff, knows Chromium rendering pipeline, possibly some GPU APIs as well. That person would cost huge amounts of money due to the required knowledge and complexity.
And then you'd need to maintain the code so it works with future Chrome versions.
