Screenshots in Web Browsers

Screenshots in Web Browsers

Many Web browsers, in particular, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, support add-ons that extend the usability of the browsers. Here are a few such extensions that put screen-capture utilities right into the browser.

• LightShot (Free; Chrome, Firefox, IE, Opera, Windows): It's available for Mac and Windows desktops, but also on almost every browser across all operating systems.
• FireShot ($39.95; Firefox, Chrome, IE, SeaMonkey, Thunderbird, Opera): Beyond the browser, FireShot even works with mail programs. It will capture and allow instant edits, allow sharing via social media or instant saves to the computer, and send images to Microsoft OneNote.
• Awesome Screenshot (Free; Chrome, Firefox, Safari): Capture a whole page or a section and then quickly annotate it (or blur out the naughty bits) before sharing instantly.
• Nimbus Screen Screenshot (Free; Firefox, Chrome, Android, Windows): Not only can Nimbus take a full shot or just grab what you want, you can use it for drawing so make a annotations or mark up those same images.
