What to know before choosing
For a simple capture, a dedicated screenshot extension beats Chrome's built-in tools because it stitches the full page, not just the visible viewport.
If you regularly record walkthroughs for clients or support, Screencastify pays for itself; if you only capture the occasional page, FireShot's free tier is plenty.
