Today we will tell you how to make a link to the highlighted text in Google Chrome. Believe me, this will come in handy.
Productivity is the key word when it comes to developing online tools, which is why Google recently released a Chrome update with improvements of this kind. One of these useful features is the ability to send a link to the text highlighted on the page.
At one time a similar browser extension was very popular, allowing you to generate a link leading to a given page with a clearly visible fragment of the site. This can be extremely useful when we want to draw someone’s attention to certain information, to a website where someone can find useful tips or info.
How to enable Copy Link to Text
For some users, especially those with Google Chrome 90 and above, the Copy link to Text feature is enabled by default. But for others, this is not the case. If this is your case, you will have to manually enable it on the Chrome experimental flags page. To do this, you need:
- Open Google Chrome on your computer. Then, in the address bar of any window, type chrome://flags and press Enter.
2. On the Experiments tab that opens, click in the search box at the top and type Copy link to Text.
3. In the Copy link to Text option that opens, select Enabled.
4. Chrome will then ask you to relaunch the browser for the changes to take effect. Click Relaunch.
After relaunching Chrome, the Copy Link to Text feature will now be enabled.
