User reviews

This should be the default functionality in every browser on every device. Thank you. PS: I can't believe there are so many useless extensions if we just search for "share link" or "email page". Standard email application should be used, this is proven by time technology. Nobody needs all these fancy services that will disappear after a few years.

Does exactly what it says it will do, efficiently and smoothly. Unlike the experience of other reviewers, there are a number of email clients you can use. Right click when you're on the desired web page, select the "Share link via email" and you are presented with five choices.

Works well for sharing a page via my web email (Outlook). Nice that you can activate via a keyboard shortcut It would be nice if, once activated, you could navigate the different options via arrow keys, tab etc (but perhaps not technically possible?) Minimised this to some degree by deselecting all the email options except Outlook so now just shows Outlook and Options but requires the mouse to select Outlook so hoping key navigation can be added if possible
