LightShot Screenshots is a feature-rich screenshot program for browser. You can take a screenshot of a specific area, window, your whole screen, or even of a website – apply different effects to it, draw on it to highlight points, and then upload to an image hosting site, all within one window. Especially if you are taking screenshots for writing tutorials or manuals you need to edit the image, e.g. highlighting some part of it. You can do all that with LightShot!

Great screenshot tool with lots of editing options. For some reason it breaks google sheets. google will show a message that you need to clear cache and cookies which won't help and the sheet will fail to load until this extension is disabled.

I wanted to use the step counter, but after installing it, Google Docs won't open anymore. I tried logging out of my account and back in, but the problem persists. Then, I attempted to disable the add-on, and that seems to be the issue.
