Many a time we feel the need to take a full-page screenshot using the Chrome browser of the website we are browsing. While it is quite common to use tools like snip tool on Windows or any system tool like grab a screenshot on Linux, it does not provide the option to capture the screenshot of the whole page at once.
Let’s see how we can take a full-page screenshot with the help of a hidden feature or shortcut in the Chrome browser
