There are many utilities that will let you *capture* a screen
image (or portion thereof) and quickly annotate *that*.
This is what I use to capture "general" content:
<

though I see it, too, has gone "subscription" based. <frown>
It includes (included?) a simple image editor that would let
you add callouts, graphics, etc. to the captured image.
Note that it will also capture motion video. A different
product targets more complete "screen interactions" (think:
preparing a user manual/video to demonstrate how a particular
piece of software works).
If I want to capture something in my browser, I just use the
"take a snapshot" capability.
Most times, I will use Photoshop/Illustrator/DRAW to doctor
the image (as they have much better tools for this).
In the past, I've gone so far as to build tools to programmatically
make certain changes to images. E.g., to change the "time"
displayed in the upper right corner of captured images to
give the illusion that they were captured in rapid succession.
