When you print a webpage, everything gets printed including the big images, side bars, advertisements on the the webpage and other unwanted content.

The latest version of Google Chrome web browser opens a New Tab page instead of your homepage when you start the browser.

When you have multiple tabs open in a Firefox window and you try to close the main Firefox window, then Firefox gives a warning asking you if you would like to save all the open tabs for next time Firefox starts?

Some of us are very bad internet addicts and spend a lot of time browsing the internet. What is worse is that we do not realize how many hours we have spent on a particular web site.

How many times you want to capture a web page and save it as an image? Now you can capture a portion of a web page or the complete web page and save it as an PNG image using the Screen Capture extension in Google Chrome.
