So two questions for the groupmind here.
1) I asked this previously but is it really that difficult to take a screenshot on Windows?
"Vivaldi’s built-in Capture tool lets you capture either a Full Page screenshot, or a Selection of the screen that you define. It can be accessed in a number of ways through the Vivaldi UI to give you flexibility in how you implement the tool."
2) The fully loaded version of the browser comes with a mail client, calendar and contacts. Didn't Netscape Navigator already show us that this confluence of features was a disaster for a browser?
- wejick 5y agoI personally can't live without Firefox capture functionality. Control + shift + S. Very convenient. It may be similar situation for vivaldi user.
- rpdillon 5y agoYes! The ability to hover over parts of the DOM and grab screenshots is a big upgrade from the built-in OS functionality on Mac and Linux, since it removes the fiddling I normally have to do to grab the optimal region. I don't use Windows, so I'm not sure about the comparison there.
- stetrain 5y agoI think the point of that feature is to take a screenshot of the full web page, even the part that is currently scrolled out of view. That's not something that the OS screenshot tool can do.
- pixelgeek 5y agoI get it now

It can be accessed in a number of ways through the Vivaldi UI to give you flexibility in how you implement the tool." Not difficult, it is the limitation of the OS. Desktop OSes don't have a way to tell the browser to take a screenshot of the full page. So it is limited of what it can do. This is where Firefox and Vivaldi comes in, they provided the tools that allows them to scroll the entire page internally and take a screenshot. If there is a website with 5 pages, the OS only can take a picture of what is actively displaying. The browsers itself can barrow deeper to get a full pages. There is one issue I have with Vivaldi Capture, it seems to capture the webpage with lower DPI than OS capture tools. Windows and macOS capture tool looks crisp and clean. In Vivaldi, it is not crisp and I have a hard time to read the text in it. Not sure if they improve it lately.
- _0w8t 5y agoA Vivaldi developer here. In which OS and on which pages do you experience this effect? Also, what is DPI of the screen?
- Isthatablackgsd 5y agoNot sure if this helps, I pulled this from Vivaldi about page. Vivaldi 5.0.2497.24 (Stable channel) (arm64) Revision fedc9977d91d270b6659fd3b0cc8873ac07d1c0d OS macOS Version 12.0.1 (Build 21A559) JavaScript V8 9.6.180.12 Using it on MacBook Air M1, so Retina? This happens in my work SaaS website; it is a scheduling portal.
- _0w8t 5y agoThanks, we will look into it.
- tssva 5y agoTaking a screenshot on Windows is easy. PrtScn key will copy a screenshot of the current screen to the clipboard, Alt+PrtScn will copy the current window to the clipboard, Windows+PrtScn will save a screenshot of the current screen to the Screenshot folder of the Pictures folder. Additionally, Windows ships with the Snip & Sketch tool which is activated with Windows+Shift+S. It allows you to capture a whole screen, a window, a rectangle or a free form area of a screen. It also has tools for annotating the screenshot.
