If I want to make a screenshot I press either alt-print or shift-alt-4, which I've configured to run "xfce4-screenshooter -r" I select the area of the screen I want, and it pops up a window which allows me to save, copy, upload to a couple of sites, or open in a program. http://imgur.com/s8IeaMNl.png http://imgur.com/s8IeaMNl.png What could be simpler. Apple has a more limited version of this with shift-apple-4 I think. The only thing I can think of that would need it in my browser rather than my OS is to capture non-visible parts of a webpage, but that isn't the functionality that's pushed.

Have you tried it ? One neat feature is the ability to select a DOM element of the page, like with the inspect tool, and take a clear picture of it. You can also screenshot the whole page, including what's below the float line.

  Note however that floating bars, such as the one used on this article, mess it up: https://0x0.st/zK9t.png https://0x0.st/zK9t.png Zapping that element with ublock origin fixes it, but needless to say the UX needs work.

The Firefox tool is simpler in a couple of ways: 1. It's aware of the DOM, and allows you to select an element easily. If you're making a series of screenshots (say, for a QA report or something), all the images will be exactly the same size. No having to be fussy with your mouse selections. 2. You don't have to take your clipboard contents and go visit another image sharing site. You can just click the little cloud button and that's it. A new tab opens with your clip and all your editing/markup options.
