Lightshot (screenshot tool) Extension

Lightshot is the fastest way to take a customizable screenshot. Simple interface, nothing useless and light weight.

Features:
* take screenshot and share it in few clicks
* select any part of the page
* edit screenshot in place
* save on a disk or upload to the cloud
* search for similar screenshots
* copy screenshot in clipboard

More information here: http://app.prntscr.com/
Privacy policy: https://app.prntscr.com/en/privacy.html?privacy

Clarification of the extension permissions:
* Read your browsing history - Chrome adds this line when we request tabs manipulation permission. Lightshot opens screenshot in a new tab, that is why we need it.
* Display notifications - Lightshot displays notification every time you upload screenshot
* Modify data you copy and paste - Lightshot allows you to copy screenshot into your Clipboard
* Manage your downloads - Lightshot allows you to save screenshot as a new file (works using download functions)

Jason Toole (ID: 000000373c122a01) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/28/2023 It used to be great, but recently I have had problems. After I copy or save my screen shot the message object File​ appears instead of the image

Penny K (ID: 000000223475bce5) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/28/2023 It's fine if all you need is a screen shot of the web page in your browser but I need it to also capture the URL. You also have to choose the file to save it to every time rather than it saving to the same file after one use. Plus the filename Lightshot offers is the same and you have to rename it every time.
