Edge: Web Capture will screenshot the site

To date, without resorting to the use of extensions offered by third parties or the specific functionality of Windows 10 (Stamp or Win + Stamp), it is not possible to capture the screenshot of the site visited in Edge. However, Microsoft seems to be working to fill the gap as evidenced by the indiscretion regarding the arrival of a new feature called Web Capture.

Edge: Web Capture functionality is coming

its operation is the one shown quite clearly in the GIF attached below: you select the command from the main menu of the browser thus activating a cursor through which to define the area to be included in the captured image, after which it is possible to observe the preview and choose what to do with it, whether to share it, copy it to your clipboard or save it to your hard drive.

Let's imagine that the window in these one can later also accommodate tools to write annotations on the screenshot and that the operation can also affect the entire page (full screen) with a single command instead of just a portion of it delimited by dragging the cursor.

At the moment Web Capture is accessible in the Canary version of Edge, although not for all users, so its debut in the stable release shouldn't be that far off.
