Google new Chrome feature will let you create link to highlighted text on webpage
Share
Tech giant Google is rolling out a new feature in Chrome 90 that will allow users to create a link to a section of a website that they have highlighted.
Google’s Chrome browser extension was launched last year and was at the time titled ‘Link to Text’ fragment. Now, the company has added the feature within Chrome itself.
Gone are the days when we copy the link from the address bar and send it to our friends with the intention of showing them a specific section of the article - only for them to read the whole text. According to a blog post from the company, Kayce Hawkins project manager at Google gave instructions on how this can be achieved.
