chromium browser screenshot extension

do you even need a chromium browser screenshot extension ?

firebox now has screenshots "built in" and i read somewhere that chromium devtools can take screenshots ! see below (its DEVTOOLS | RUN CMD | CAPTURE SCREENSHOT )

the chromium extension store lists dozens so for 'end users' - but many seem fake

here are a few that i need to add to my "need to take a look at" todo list unless you can point me to the best of the bunch for a webdev

geek hack to get a chromium screenshot

  • open MENU | DEVTOOLS | DEVTOOLS MENU | RUN CMD | SCREENSHOT

dev tools run cmd screenshot

ctrl (or cmd) - shift - p from the dev tools should give you the command palette and then you can type "screenshot" to get all the different screenshot options in Chrome.

cool i NEVER guess it would be DEVTOOLS | RUN CMD | CAPTURE SCREENSHOT

why isnt this easily exposed to regular end users ?

I guess it might be at some point. In the mean time, it's probably possible to make a coole "premium" screenhot tool that really just does that call behind the scenes.
