Used to be the best, but it no longer supports chrome v3 and can't be installed and used in the latest chrome official version, luckily I found its replacement, the functionality is the same, the screenshots are shown as a button instead of text! https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/screenshot-youtube-new/mflhfbknkdbjbfmnfmblhjchcbopejhg
