This extension allows you to draw on the current web page, pick the line colour and thickness and take a cropped screenshot.

What is DrawR?
DrawR is a Chrome extension that turns any web page into a canvas. Users can draw freehand, or make ellipses, rectangles, and straight lines, with customizable line color and thickness. A unique feature of DrawR allows capturing the artwork as a screenshot, which is automatically downloaded on the browser. The extension is activated or deactivated with simple keyboard shortcuts, making it convenient for quick annotations or casual doodling.
