Firefox added a feature a while back that I have started to use a lot and I miss an equivalent on the Brave browser I'm trying out.
I was just wondering if any other browser offers that Firefox capability.
The Firefox screen shot is accessed vis right click with the mouse, at the very bottom of the contextual menu.
When one clicks that one gets the option of taking a screen shot of the complete web page or selecting the portion one wants to include in the screen shot.
The key thing for me is that this feature will take a screen shot of the complete web page, no matter how big it is, even if most of it is off screen (and one would have to scroll to see it).
The screen shot is saved as a png image and if you download it, it ends up in my download folder (not on the desktop, thank God)
The only option somewhat similar that I used before was to either use the print menu and save the web page as a pdf, but more often than not, using this method images were missing, the text had moved or a line was missing - the conversion to pdf just did not work....or
Save the web page as a web page - that way, with Firefox and most other browsers, one ends up with two files, an html file and an associated folder, which the browser assembles again, or with Safari asingle file with an Apple unique extension which most other browsers (and Windows systems) probably can't read.
A png image of a web page is pretty much ideal because it can be read by almost any device.
