Extension summary

SimpleShot is a fast, lightweight, and simple screenshot extension for Google Chrome.

Just click the icon to screenshot your current tab. SimpleShot only captures your tab, not your mouse, your taskbar, or other applications you have open.

Clicking the button opens a new tab where you can preview and download your image, or you can go to options and check auto-download, to make clicking the button instead directly download the image. You can also right click the image and click "save as" to name it whatever and save it wherever you want.

It Works!
by Viper Green, 2022-12-29

Very good, simple just work app. One missing important feature though: save to Google Drive / MS OneDrive / Dropbox ... Most of the cases I want a screenshot to share with folks. So it could automatically save to a shared space and extra bonus if it automatically copied an URL to share the screenshot with others -- so I could just paste the link in a chat, email or tweet.
