It can be to suggest what can be fixed there or to get help from somebody when you are filling up something because what you might be seeing is not what others may see. So below is a list of Screenshot extensions for Chrome.
Best Screenshot Extensions for Chrome Browser
The common thing between all of them is how they let you take a screenshot, which is either by selecting an area or a complete webpage. Then comes the individual features where they make it different. Make sure to choose based on your usage.
1] LightShot from Prntscr
