Is a web browser required to have a screenshot? Probably yes and there are few who don’t. Chrome, number one in its segment, is surprisingly one that does not, at least on the PC, but Google is determined that this will change soon and you will find the function well in the development versions already well-fed.

I asked the question because it is true that this type of function is always good to have, but it is strange that among the basic utilities of any operating system is not a screen capture utility that would satisfy the need when it occurs. Be that as it may, Chromium is about to release own and very interesting screenshotas it was issued there.

For example, in Chrome Unboxed, where they not only implement the novelty, but have already tried it and made a few screenshots. How it should be: how to display a screenshot without screenshots? impossible! If I haven’t tried it myself, it’s because I’m too lazy to install Chrome Canary, a version where you can use the feature already mentioned.

New Chrome Screenshot Image: Chrome Unboxed

As you can see in the images, the Chrome screenshot will not be reduced to typical, which will make it easier to take a snapshot of the visible part of the webpage, the entire webpage, or the crop that the user wants to create, but rather provide basic editing tools such as arrows, geometric shapes, text, emoticons, colors, etc. Everything one would expect to find in an advanced screen capture tool, wow.

In fact, it will be possible to take a screenshot and save or edit it at the same time. Selecting the second option opens a browser-integrated image editor on a separate tab. After making the appropriate adjustments, the image can be saved.

It’s not clear when the screen grabber will arrive in the stable version of Chrome, but it seems to be advanced and the experience it offers is consistent. But you still have to activate it manually in the Canarian version of the browser, so it won’t be tomorrow. In any case, if it arrives via Chromium, it will be within reach of the rest of the derivatives. Whether anyone will use it or continue with their own tools remains to be seen.
