It works quickly and without glitches, and most importantly, there are no failures or glitches in its operation. I’m completely satisfied with its interface and functionality.

Not the best, has some potential to hit, but a great way into screenshots, with very few obligations.
It is difficult to think of more toxic apps than Yandex products.

While Lightshot seems quick and easy, it only shares to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, VK (Russian), and it's own site, printscr.com. It says it will also send to Google for image compare, but that did not work for me. If the extension had a way to let you choose sending to contacts or Google Keep, I might like the extension enough to keep it.
It works perfectly and has been on my PC for many months. No problem, the only thing is that it took me a while to figure it out:
Use CTRL + "+" (the button with the numeric "+" symbol) to increase the size of the text and arrows. I can only use with the "+" key on the numeric keypad (NumLock enabled) And use CTRL + A to streamline print on the entire screen
I decided to comment here to make it easier for you lol.
Nice app! But there is lack of some features.
INCEDIBILE feature: search captured image in google in 1 click. Don't know another app with that feature.

Recommended by my nephew, Zack. Works better than the screencapture I had been using before.
