- ailuridae reviewed Web Clipper: Easy Screenshot
Seems to be the best open source option to replicate Firefox's native screenshot tool in Chrome, should you ever need to use Chrome for things (I'm sorry). It can't select on DOM region though like FF, just a free-hand box draw (or whole page / visible area)

What is Web Clipper: Easy Screenshot?
Easy Screenshot is an easy to use screen capture tool. Simply press one of the context menu items to capture entire or a portion of your screen.
To take screenshots you have three options:
- Capture entire screen (no matter how long the page is)
- Capture visible area
- Capture selected area
The captured screenshot is being saved as PNG format with the title of page used for file naming
Four reasons to use easy screenshot:
- Take a full visual screen capture from right click context item
- Take a portion screen capture from right click context item
- Light-weight compared to other screen capturing extensions
- More secure because the code is publicly available for review and contributions. In other words, it's open source.

Available as a browser extension, and works fine.
It can take a screenshot of a whole web page, the visible part, or a selected portion.
I only wish it could save as PDF also, not only as a PNG picture, like FireShot is able to do.
The good • I love it. It is owned and supported by a friendly community. Not a corporation. So more secure because its code is publicly available for review and contributions on GitHub at https://github.com/schomery/easy-screenshot • Easy to use. Simply right click anywhere in your browser window. Select "Easy Screenshot" option. Then select "entire page", a" portion", or "visual part." option • Optionally, for each screenshot, you can be ask for a location to store it to storage • Optionally, you can save the screenshot to clipboard. Which is very useful for quickly and easily paste the screenshot into any other software to your liking. • Automatically adds timestamps to filenames • Lightweight • Very good quality screenshot using PNG format • Available for Chromium, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari
The bad • Minimal features
Tip • If the "Capture Entire Screen" fails. Because merged parts are overlapping. To temporarily resolved this challenge, use Firefox, temporarily change the page zoom to 100%. Then try again to "Capture Entire Screen". This time "Capture Entire Screen" successfully take the screenshot without overlap.
