What do you use to take a screenshot? While I like Brave’s browser, they didn’t have a way to do screenshots. I downloaded FireShot but it can be tricky. For me anyways. I use them a lot especially when I’m asking for help & want to show somebody what “I” see on my computer. Mozilla Firefox makes it easy.

Mozilla Firefox makes it easy. It does? How? I've been using Firefox for eons and I don't know how to take a screenshot with it. I normally use a program called XnView. It's easy to do and easy to select what you want to take a screenshot of. Edit: Well, I'll be dipped. I just looked up how to take a screenshot with Firefox and you're right, it is easy!

Now you know I'll keep XnView for reference on other browsers or if Firefox makes theirs obsolete. Thank you for that link

I use FireShot for firefox without issue for entire page captures, what issues do you have?
Also I mostly use either the print scr key on my keyboard to take screenshots or pull out window's snip it.

I like Mozilla Firefox's the best. It's easy to do. FireShot can be a bit tricky for our older computer.
Is there a trick for the Print Screen key? I press it & nothing pops up.

It's built into all phones that I know of.

I press Ctrl Prt Screen on the keyboard and then open up Adobe Elements and copy and past into there.

On my keyboard, all I have to do is press the Fn key with with DEL key, and then I can "crop" an area of the screen to take a screen shot. Then I'll take it in Gimp and reduce the size if I need to (I have a dual monitor set up, so sometimes the resolution can be a bit too high if I want to share something on the web. All of my screenshots are automatically saved in My Documents/Pictures/Screenshots and sorted to show the most recent files first, so it's easy to figure out which screenshot is what.

It's built into all phones that I know of. Wasn't sure, thank you It’s built into all smartphones nowadays, I’m pretty sure. That's good to know I use Brave and when I need to do a screen shot. I press Ctrl Prt Screen on the keyboard and then open up Adobe Elements and copy and past into there. When I'm on Brave & do Ctrl Prt Screen, nothing happens. Is that the way it's supposed to work? That you don't see it until you open up i.e. Adobe Elements? On my keyboard, all I have to do is press the Fn key with with DEL key, and then I can "crop" an area of the screen to take a screen shot. Then I'll take it in Gimp and reduce the size if I need to (I have a dual monitor set up, so sometimes the resolution can be a bit too high if I want to share something on the web. All of my screenshots are automatically saved in My Documents/Pictures/Screenshots and sorted to show the most recent files first, so it's easy to figure out which screenshot is what. My keyboard is old so doesn't have the Fn key. The newer ones may come with it more readily. I'm going to have to keep this in mind. Thank you for this tip I use the screenshot tool made by Microsoft. Do you download it separately?

I got a logitech keyboard that allows me to use one keyboard with my computer, and my smart phone (because I hate typing on the tiny screen keyboard). There's a third device that I could connect to, but have no need for it. I think it was like $30 at Bestbuy.

How cool!

How cool! I have my keyboard connect using Bluetooth, so there's no wires, and the built in ledge/tray holds my phone at just the right angle.

I have my keyboard connect using Bluetooth, so there's no wires, and the built in ledge/tray holds my phone at just the right angle. That is very interesting! I've never seen that done before with a cell. I've hooked up our keyboard to my husband's laptop when my computer had to be taken in. Was easier than we thought it'd be!

The current technology we have today makes it really easy to connect things together, provided that said technology is configured correctly! LOL
