Google Chrome Browser doesn't have 'Sceenshot'.

Hi.
Moved from Firefox to Chrome to see if it would speed up annoying scrollings. Hate changes, and having to make things look and act the same...
Now I find that right-click doesn't produce 'Screenshot', one of the most useful features. Argh!
How to get? 
Ta.

(I've already had to get used to right-clicking for spellcheck instead of left. Lawdie!)

    There's an extension for that:

    Or you can use the Windows Print Screen feature...  which may be better as it works regardless of browser and application...

    As for Firefox "annoying scrollings", what's that exactly?

    To get screenshots on my PC, I press the print screen key; on my present Honor smartphone it's 2 knuckle taps on the screen, I find that useful, I didn't like holding 2 buttons down

    Thank you for this.
    Yes, I'm aware of Cntrl-PrintScreen, but then I need to plonk it somewhere, and it doesn't 'copy' into my picture folder, for example. I 'PrintScreen', and then what?! Screenshot simply 'downloads' it, and there it is. :smile:
    And just an hour ago I used Cntrl-PS to copy an eBay order, but then had to open Word for somewhere to paste it in to! From there, it's 'save as picture', but the quality was so bad I couldn't read the detail...
    So I'll be very pleased to have Screenshot back.
    By 'scrollings', I mean the time it often takes to get into Facebook, or Marketplace, even MSE sometimes. I have 150 Fibre, but I still have to twiddle my thumbs at times. There was another issue with Firefox, where something wouldn't work properly, but I forget what it is. 
    And why does FF have 'spellcheck' with a left click, and Chrome with right? Jeepers, that is weird.

    When you Cntrl-PS, where do you then find the image?

    Do you clear cookies etc regularly? 

    Never had a speed issue with Firefox

    Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid

    What you actually want then is this which is hold the Windows key and press the Print Screen key and you'll find it in the Screenshot folder in your Pictures folder:


    With regards to your FIrefox problem, I don't know what you're doing or have done but the spellcheck is on the right click menu in Firefox where it always has been.

    Issues with profile based browsers such as Firefox are almost always caused by one of two things - extension(s) or the profile.  This might be of interest:

    Get Firefox into Troubleshooting mode and this disables the extensions temporarily.  If your problem goes away an extension is causing it, otherwise its more likely an issue with the Firefox profile which you can make a new one with the Refresh Firefox option.

    I normally paste it into "Paint" and then save it

    Alternatively you can print it as a PDF which has the same effect -using the 3 vertical dots to bring up the menu

    Thanks everyone - that's really appreciated, and some stuff for me to check.
    What I like about Screenshot is how you can crop what you want, and it downloads straight into your downloads file. No need to open up any program. Anyhoo, I'm sure I'll find it, give the advice above.
    The spell check is weird, Neil. When on MSE, for example, spellcheck was always LH click with FF. 'Word' is RH, so that always had me making annoying extra clicks. And now Chrome is RH too. I'll have to go back to FF and check I'm not going mad :smile:
    'Scrolling' is typically Facebook and Marketplace - it takes seconds to load for some reason. Maybe that's normal?
    Anyhoo, not a biggie.

    With Firefox on my PC, a press of print screen and it automatically sends an image to a photo folder, a small screen usually pops up and it tells me it's done that.

    I don't personally use Firefox so no idea on that functionality Vs Chrome
