Extension summary

Have you ever wanted to link to a specific place in a web page, but the page's authors forgot to tell you the right link target? This extension finds the nearest linkable place in the page before the text you've selected and links there.

This extension uses the new activeTab permission to avoid running on any page except the ones you explicitly ask it to, so it currently only supports the Chrome beta channel.

WARNING: This extension will probably do badly on pages with iframes, especially cross-origin iframes. We'll fix this eventually...
