Description

Can you please re-instate screenshot but allow for privacy concerns.

Edge supports this feature (and I understand it factors for privacy concerns). So webview2 should support the same rather than blindly remove it.

Thank you.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how Edge supports screenshot capture while addressing privacy concerns, then compare that behavior with the current WebView2 behavior. Define the privacy requirements and confirm that screenshot support can be reinstated without blindly restoring the removed behavior.
