What about Lightshot and Snagit?
Lightshot is great for quick screenshots of an area of the screen, but it does not capture a full scrolling page. Snagit is a paid desktop app with a strong editor and scrolling capture for any window. It costs money and lives outside the browser. If you only capture web pages, a browser extension does the job for free.
Capture the whole page. Edit it. Free.
