Awesome Screenshot:
Screen capturing web pages is made easy with the aptly named Awesome Screenshot extension. Shortcut keys? Don't need any.

That's not all - the extension allows you to make minor edits to the captured screenshot: you can crop, blur text or add important notes. Lastly, you can choose to save it locally or upload to awesomescreenshot.com for a shareable link.
Clip to Evernote:
If you have signed up for an Evernote account, the Clip to Evernote extension is a handy addition (think of Evernote as a digital scrapbook service of sorts). The Clip to Evernote Chrome extension makes it easy to create quick Evernote notes; you can organize your favorite text or images easily into your Evernote account with a single click. Or, if you have nothing to add on, you can also access the extension to refer back to old notes. Best yet, Evernote comes with sync support on most mobile operating systems such as Android, BlackBerry Windows Mobile and Apple iOS, which means you can edit and read your notes on-the-go.

Of course, that's provided that you have downloaded its corresponding phone application as well (only available on phones with ANDROID2.2 and above).
