Oh Wait, "awesome Screenshot" Is Available On Firefox?

Sun, 06/17/2012 - 3:55pm — senh

In a previous article, I wrote: “Awesome Screenshot - Aptly named. It is awesome! Probably better than anything on Firefox. It’s my favorite Chrome app for taking screencaps. Features include cropping and annotation.”

That was in April. Apparently, “Awesome Screenshot” has been available on Firefox since March of 2011. I wonder why I couldn’t find it then. Maybe I did, but chose not to install it because it came with the Superfish spyware turned on automatically, which hijacks Amazon links with the developer’s affiliate links. Pretty much all of the negative reviews were regarding that.

Happy to find a Firefox version of it, I installed it anyway. I guess because of the negative feedback regarding Superfish, the developer has it disabled by default.

It’s identical to the Chrome version. Same look, same features. No spyware. I’m happy.

    I saw a tweet last night from FilmSchoolReject.com, a film site, that said how the “Pocket” app’s integration with Chrome had changed his workflow. As someone who’s always looking for online tools that would improve my productivity, I was curious. Turns out the “Read It Later” app has rebranded itself as “Pocket.” The tagline is when you find someone you like on the net, put it in your pocket. More

  • The Identical Look of Firefox and Chrome Caused Site Shutdown
    In my previous article, I mention how the latest version of Firefox has a nearly identical look to Google’s Chrome web browser. When I’m working on new features for my sites, I use Firefox for testing and Chrome to see what the results look like to the users. I knew one of these days, because both browsers look the same now, I would confuse one for the other and put up untested programming code that would cause havoc on my sites. More
