Send URL

Implements a button to send page URL (link) via email.

What is Send URL?

Send URL is a handy Chrome extension that tweaks your emailing process by enabling you to quickly send the URL of any webpage via email. The extension adds a button next to the address bar. When clicked, it opens a new send-mail window (for example, Gmail), populates the email title field with the webpage title, and places the webpage URL in the body of the email. This extension uses the 'mailto:' protocol, hence, the operation and format may vary based on your system settings and chosen email client.

So if things don't work as expected or you want to change things, then check your systems "mailto:" protocol settings.

Very simple and effective. No bells and whistles, doesn't overcomplicate anything, just opens a new email from Outlook with a link to the page. Exactly what I was looking for. Win 10 Pro and Microsoft 365
