## Description

Save Screenshot is a simple yet powerful Chrome extension designed to capture screenshots efficiently. It supports full-page screenshots without scrolling or duplicated headers, ensuring clean and complete captures. Users can save images in PNG or JPEG formats or copy them losslessly to the clipboard for easy editing.

Key features include customizable capture regions (full page, current viewport, or selected area), configurable context menus, and shortcut keys allowing up to 9 distinct screenshot settings. The extension also supports custom filename formats and embeds metadata such as date/time, page title, and URL into the image comments for better organization and archiving. Note that screenshots cannot be taken on certain protected pages like the Chrome Web Store.

## Review summary

Save Screenshot is praised for reliable long-page captures on Android and its simple, lightweight, privacy-friendly design. It offers configurable options and high-quality output, making it a strong gap-filler before Firefox's built-in screenshot features.

Overall, it's a straightforward, effective tool for Android Firefox users.

### Cons

- Inconsistent/incomplete full-page captures on some pages
- Occasional bugs or compatibility issues with specific features/pages (e.g., PDF previews)
