Screenshot a complete webpage with ease

                There are wide variety of  extensions you can find  for your Chrome Browser for taking a snap (Screenshot) of your webpage. Sometimes you can find it very difficult if you have a vertical scroll bar to the webpage. It is not possible to take a complete snap of the page. You can take the snap of the content whatever we can see by using "print screen" Key, but it is impossible to take a snap of  complete webpage(having vertical scroll bar). I am going to discuss about one of the extensions you can find in the chrome store known as "Awesome Screenshot".

               Install Awesome Screenshot plugin from store, you can find the icon as shown. Click on the icon, you can find several options. You can do the following operations:
